Looking for old plaster 2x2 dungeon tiles.

[mattcolville]

I have NO IDEA where my friend Jim got these, but they're at least 20 years old, possible 35 years old.

Obviously I'm not talking about the Dwarven Forge tiles in the back.

Those 2x2 tiles are awesome, they're painted plaster, he bought them somewhere, they come with those doorways and trap doors and stuff like that and they scream D&D to me in a way the Dwarven Forge stuff doesn't. I'm not looking to make my own, I'm trying to figure out if these thing exist anywhere for sale. Google isn't helping!

Looks like Hirst Arts stuff to me.

Hirst Arts Fantasy Architecture Inc. Build your own castles easily.

I know for a fact someone on the Interwebs sells these pre-made and painted.

Matt---I have a box of what may be those pieces. Mine have identifying info on their unfinished "bottom" side edge, where they state in various forms, "(c) 1981 OFF THE TRACK."

I did some quick google searches, and didn't find anything useful. Let me know if you need/want more info, and I'll see what else I can dig up.

I feel pretty certain we're talking about the same tiles, grodog. Hey, at least knowing what they're called might help future ebay searches! Thanks!

De nada. I posted over to the Acaeum @ miniatures/dungeon terrain - "Off the Track" 1981 in case you want to check in on any further follow-ups (nothing substantive yet, beyond a mention of a review from TD#20).

I haven't turned up anything useful googling or searching eBay, so this may be one of those "good luck in your really long and unlikely quest" replies, Matt
