I've bought several of these sets, but so many of them have become ridiculously overpriced once they go out of print. I really want to buy more, and would be happy to be buy more at the original $9.99, but I'm not going to pay the jacked up $99.99 and $199.99 prices that these *Insert insulting plural noun* are asking. They are nice color cardboard prints, but I can buy Dwarven Forge stuff for those prices.
Anyway, since Wizards aren't going to print anymore (I've contacted their customer service to ask), I may just have to make some myself. So, has anyone had much luck in printing/creating knock-off, alternatives, etc of Dungeon Tiles?
I was thinking of even scanning pieces of some of the out-of-print ones that I do have in order to make a 2nd copy, as well as maybe customizing several, and designing a few from scratch. In total honesty, due to the fact that they aren't selling some sets, I'm not above pirating scans of sets I don't have that are out of print as well... I WANT to buy them, but if they won't sell them, there's not much else I can do.
If anyone has tips, or experiences they can share, or can point to resources on this subject, please do share. If someone has good photos of anything like this they've made, I'd love to see those as well.
I don't think I could possibly make anything that looks as nice as the ones WotC made, but I'd like to try my hand at making something at at least approaches them.
I'm aware of some of the 3D ones like Fat Dragon already btw, and sure they are nice but space *is* a consideration for me. Part of the appeal of the WotC ones are that they are flat and don't take up much space.
