Creating some new dungeon tiles

[Kris]

A recent thread (started by mps42) concerning some dungeon tiles I drew a few years back, has got me in the mood to have a go at creating a few more

So I was thinking of expanding this set:
PDF Dungeon Tiles

However, rather than just drawing up a few more that I 'think' might be useful, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts about what the current set desperately needs. I'm not talking about specific tiles (like a tile depicting a throne made of skulls surrounded by a river of blood, or anything like that) but rather room/passage configurations that would have multiple uses.

An idea I have at the moment would be to do some larger rooms that come in several pieces ...something like these tiles... but obviously in the style/scale of those posted above:

...but as I say, if anyone has any other ideas about what would be useful, it would be great to hear them.

Oh yeah... I'll might also try and do another 'dungeon dressing' download with maybe a few statues... or some treasure... or whatever

...so simple stuff (i.e. things that I'll be able to draw) like that might be good to hear about too

nice scenery.

On the scenery front I've been playing around with a few things... though I still have a way to go before I've got enough to fill a whole page (or at least enough that I'm happy with ).

I've started off with some fairly generic stuff (a pit, a pillar, a statue) - though I might need to go back and see if I can get them looking a bit better ...I dunno yet. I guess if it's easy enough to tell what they are then I might leave them be... but here's a look at them as they are at the moment:

For some reason I want to add a campfire down in there and make it look as the body is a guy just camping out to confuse the heck out of players!

Or better yet have a GCube in the bottom that fell in and waits for its next victim that thinks the pit is full of water.

For some reason I want to add a campfire down in there...

...maybe I should add a little more clutter down there, or maybe another skeleton or two.

But in the meantime, this is what I've been busying myself with today...

You may be one of the perfect people to capitalize on this idea. http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/247221-mapping-tiles-boards-dungeons-cities.html

I am trying to make tiles and such, but don't really know where to start.

An idea I have at the moment would be to do some larger rooms that come in several pieces...

This is the idea I have for the layout of the next two modular dungeon tiles...

...it should give quite a bit of flexibility and allow rooms of 6x5 or 6x8 or 8x8 squares to be assembled (I think ).

But while I'm still thinking about the layout of the above tiles, here's a little something I've been experimenting with (basically trying to dirty-up the 'waterway' type of tiles to make a sewer encounter area):

Excellent work as always, Kris! I really like the pit trap. >
