Hivemart

Since my creative downtime has been preoccupied with Necromunda as of late, I was thinking of terrain pieces to build for the game.  My thoughts wandered to Dakotamart.  Most of you have probably never heard of it.  It’s a regional chain of WalMart-like stores native to South Dakota.  I have been to the one in Pierre, but it was several years ago.  From what I remember about it, it was comprised of three floors.  The ground floor was the grocery floor.  I don’t think I need to explain that one any further.  The second floor down was what I would call the department store floor, which featured clothes, fashion items, bedding and whatnot.  The bottom floor was my favorite.  It was the sporting goods floor, and it had a spectacular shooting sports department.  My wife had to drag me away from that area of the store because I was about to break the bank on ammunition purchases.

As you can ascertain, this Dakotamart is a pretty cool store to venture into.  My idea was to try to create a Necromunda version of it for game-play.  The only problem with that is it would have to be a HUGE piece of terrain or at least several large pieces that fit together to form a larger playing area that would most likely take up the whole of the tabletop.  I would most likely call it, “Hivemart”.  Probably not a very original name, but it fits.

I figure if I don’t end up creating it for a game, I may write about it in some forthcoming Necromunda fan fiction.
