Cityscape Tiles Prison

Tiles are a nice way to supplement the for people who use miniatures. They are usually pre printed areas that can be just laid out for people to explore. One does not need markers to draw out maps and one does not need to erase sections of the map to create new areas when space gets limited. They are easy to just print out and then lay out on the table to use. The ones here are for a modern game and depict a prison.

Cityscape Tiles: Prison is by LPJ Designs. They have quite a big catalog of different items over at RPGNow and I was amassed at the quantity. The zip file this comes in is a little under seven megs so not really too big. The PDF is sixty three pages long full of these tiles. There are no rules in the book making it perfectly usable for any game in the modern era like Mutants and Masterminds or even Unknown Armies. One could actually use these in near future or far future games like a cyber punk or even a Star Wars and Babylon 5. While the tiles are not perfect for such settings the look could work for them.

The tiles show a prison. It is fairly simple to describe in that way. The two story prison has the usually rooms one would expect. Each tile has a color version as well as a black and white one. The prison has two stories with plenty of rooms fro the inmates and some places specifically for the guards. There are thirty tiles drawn up here. Each tile is six inches by six inches and has one inch by one inch squares to use miniatures with. The product has a specific way these all fit together but with some work and a little bit of creativeness other way to assemble the rooms together should be possible,

The tiles look good. The large amount of ink makes it so I use a little higher quality paper then standard but other then that there really is no problem printing them. The miniatures I own have plenty of space on the squares and the map seems to fit together easily. Being paper they are easy to pack up and transport. If I think they are going to get a lot of use I laminate the tiles. It also allows for them to be drawn on with wet erase markers like a standard battle map. It adds a little more price to the over all cost of the tiles but it makes them last a lot longer.

The tiles do a nice job of portraying a prison. They are very usable in a variety of different games and are not limited to any one game system. They can eat a bit of ink for people with ink jets and especially the color cartridges. But for those that have access to work printers these tiles will defiantly be worth the price.
