I designed these tiles, and I think they came out great. It's a DIY modular system with tiles to make corridors, and different size rooms and includes several scenery and hazard markers. I'm busy working on some standees for the doors right now and may even add some detailed papercraft scenery too. Even if you don't do the whole dungeon thing, the tiles would come in handy for marking out courtyards or roads in your table top games, and the hazards alone make this set better than any dungeon tile set that's come before.
If you like the tiles or have any requests or suggestions, leave me a comment... I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks a lot for the support guys! I have plans for a wilderness set eventually, along with a cave set and a sewer set. Right now I'm working on stand-up doors, and then after that a set of 1.5" inch tiles cos the MKD crowd has been asking for them.
In the Bigger Rooms set there are some furniture markers... Specifically a dinner table and some knocked down stools and a cooking pot on a blazing fire, along with a bunch of crates. I usually make hazards and furniture markers to fill up the space on the pages cos there's no point in wasting paper, so i'll likely include some more furniture in one of the many future sets I have planned. Horses and carts sounds good though... I'll have to think about how I can make that one work!
I've been wanting to do some curved and irregularly shaped rooms for a while... they'd really add a whole new dimension to the usefulness of the tiles It's on the to-do list... Think it may have to wait til after I look at a tavern set though.
This question is aimed at anyone who's already downloaded the tiles: Which has been your favourite out of the 4 available sets so far and why?
I also like the "Bigger Rooms" set the best. And as above....not for any great reason. I guess it seems like those are the sizes of rooms that most often pop up.
Realistically, however, the rooms themselves aren't that useful without corridors so that set is just as good.
What I like best, however, are the "dungeon dressing" tiles that go along with the rooms. We usually play on a vinyl mat with marker-drawn walls and we can use those extras for our mat just as well as if we used the room printouts themselves.
Thus my love for a "furniture" pack.
If you decide to undertake that project PLEASE be sure to start a thread about it on ENWorld asking for suggestions. I am sure you could get 20 pages of subject ideas after a couple days of brainstorming.
Keep up the great work. As said above...you are giving away product you could charge good money for...so you are gonna get a LOT of love and a LOT of fans on ENWorld fairly quickly.
Any tips on what to print onto or how to stop them sliding apart during play?
I printed mine out on plain paper and used spray glue to mount them to 3mm thick black foam core. When playing we use a table cloth so that they don't slip all over the smooth polished table surface and they stayed put well enough When I designed them in the beginning I devised all sorts of elaborate interlocks and methods for holding them together, but i abandoned them cos it would have just made the tiles too much work for anyone trying to use them.
On the subject of printing: I've been printing my door prototypes on HP 240gsm deluxe photo paper instead, as I had a 100 free sheets that someone donated. It came out unbelievably well with the heightened colour intensity and exquisitely fine detail. If you don't mind the extra expense, printing it out on photo paper really pushes the tiles to a whole new level!
