[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4722925, member: 14197"] OK, first, I will give my boy, Cadfan, here some XP for this one. Sometimes I disagree with you on a few things, but as a 4e fan, we've got that in common. And it seems we have a DDI subscription in common too. I have worked with Photoshop as a professional for a few years now, and I know it's very possible to do this. Disable some DM layers and resave. Easy-peasy, for someone who is a professional cartographer in this industry. I am not a pro, but even my personal, DM version, amateur stuff is simple to do this. EDIT: Dammit! I already gave him XP recently, and it says I must "spread it around" before I give him some more. :confused: Sorry Russ, it's cool. :D This too. Can I print a 3x3 overlay for tile to make the terrain? Sure! Provide me the tile, and I will print! OK, so.... as a subscriber to DDI. I would NOT like to see Ari's name disappear from Dungeon adventures or Dragon articles any time too soon. Interestingly, I have put the 4e battlebox and 4e Heroic in my shopping cart and have been contemplating this purchase for a few days now. I also like the work that Klaus does. I have almost every counter collection he has produced, either as a PDF or print, or in most cases, both. Yet, for some reason, I have been holding back on these. my players are liking the mini's instead. One of my players has a bunch of DND minis and I have a few (hundred) myself. I am using Ed's [URL="http://www.rpgnow.com/index.php?manufacturers_id=80&filters=0_0_0_0"]Skeleton Key[/URL] tiles a LOT, though. I had converted the entire mid section of my [URL="http://paizo.com/store/downloads/dungeon/v5748btpy7ym6"]Age of Worms[/URL] campaign to work with his tiles. I have that [URL="http://rpgobjects.com/etile/tile_frame.php"]RPG Object's Tile manager[/URL] product. It has helped me make a lot of my maps with all the Skeleton Key tiles I own (and that's more than I like to admit. :) good work Ed.). I don't want or need dungeon tiles from WOTC. Let the other guys do that stuff. They are better at it, and they also have a community that has huge support. The Cartographer's Guild, Dundjinni forums, FourUglyMonsters.com, there's a lot of them with fan support using Campaign Cartographer and Dundjinni to make maps that kick some serious butt. You can't believe how many awesome maps and objects and map stuff you can find online by amazing artists. The CSUAC is just a dream come true for a mapper. I'm serious, a few good URLs and you can be in third-party mapping nirvana. EDIT: WRAL Newsreporter: "So, Mr. Catsclaw227, what are these mystic URLs you say I need to find nirvana?
