Little spider house

This is an older piece.  It's been up for awhile but people don't grab at it.  The problem with scenery is that it has to be more than just useful.  It also has to appear useful.  In other words, the number of times you put a secret entrance to a Drow lair in one of your adventures should make this piece an indefensible addition to any collection, yes?  But the problem is that few people rarely think that they need something as particularly specific as the secret entrance to a Drow lair.

I don't know.  My feeling is, minus the spider, this is a perfect stand-in for a mausoleum. in any game.  Moreover, though its mostly made of foam (sandwiched between two plates of resin), it's really durable because of the foliage.  I know...that's a weird thing to say.  The first thing that falls off a piece of scenery (not mine, mind you) is the green stuff.  But in this case, the green stuff you're looking at is green sand!  It's durable (like sand tends to be) and unlike to fall off the scenery every time someone brushes a stray miniature up against it (purely by accident, of course.  No one does that just because you killed their character.  That would be petty and vindictive).  This piece is immune to petty vindictiveness.  Clever, huh?  What can I say.  My players don't get too attached to their characters.

Oh, by the way, when you guys send Drow after characters, do you load them up with levels in a class.  I find that natural ability, plus a few levels in Warlock, can make even the most pedestrian of Drow encounters a real nail biter.  Maybe it's just me.
