[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4595862, member: 70778"] Yeah that is what I was thinking to have "pads" but not really the glue at the top kind that you have to peel a sheet off, and have multiples of each "tile" in the pad. One question would be does it need to be 300 dpi like Fat Dragon Games stuff to look THAT good, or since it is meant for cost reduction and to be disposable in the event of damage and easily replaced; can it be slightly lesser quality such as newsprint images at 150 dpi? Also the sheets could be double sided or single sided so that even a torn "tile" could be used for scrap paper. But again a torn tile is not always a bad one as you could trim out the squares that are torn and use them elsewhere except for pre-designed rooms and buildings. Would 100 sheets per "pad" be ideal? Would multiples of the same tile be best in the case of pages or just multiple of the same tile per page, or just a page of tiles with singles that are cheap enough you could buy several pads for the price of a game board stock package of tiles? Hell! What about tiles sold as PDFs and you could just print your own dang tiles when you need one and you don't have to pay for spare copies? If I did it I would expect to get rich off a single sheet, so piracy wouldn't be that big a thing for me. As it stands now I could make tiles like this in PDF and give them away, but making a little scratch from the idea wouldn't really offend me. ;) So what would be the best distribution method as well of what do people think of the idea and what things would they like to see in tiles? Also what scales would be needed for various RPG and minis games? D&D uses 1" squares @ 5'. Any other things that people may want tiles for? [/QUOTE]
