[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4598568, member: 70778"] You are right on track, but not just indoors, but outside areas, pages of rooms and buildings, pages of corridors that you can cut to length if you need one shorter than the biggest size, etc. Being cheap paper means you can reuse them later if not glued down, or throw away after you are done and buy more if you don't have any left over in your pad. The idea is where WotC gives 6 tiles per pack for like $20 that you can punch out of the die-cut game board, this thing would have like 100 sheets in the pad, and it is 5 sets of 20 tiles that can be used for lots of things. Maybe even have an outdoors pack, indoors pack that lets you design a room, cavern pack, etc. I may mock up a set of ideas and post them here to get some more input on the types of tiles in a pad later today or before the holiday. You would need a floor like you have there, and you could cut it into the shape you want form it in the left side pic. Say cut it to one 2x10 corridor with a 5x5 room on each end of it. Or any other shape/design you want to make from it. The key is cheap, disposable/recyclable/reusable, replaceable, pre-printed for those that want to just buy pads rather than having to print their own via PDF. One thing you may forget is you COULD make them reusable for tiles you want to keep for some reason, but gluing them to a piece of stiff cardboard like say a cereal box. Just that you would have the option to have more per pack of a single tile than just the one you may get now, and being paper you can cut to fit better, and not feel so bad about cutting up something expensive. You are on the right track, now just to figure out how to get this done, and like you said the price to print as cheaply as possible and package them somehow. Of course POD would be one way, as well PDFs could be sold to start to give funds to help the initial printing costs. If you beat me to making it and making money off of it no problem, because I might just buy some of yours! :lol: [/QUOTE]
