Suggestions for 1" map tiles?

blargney

First Post
I'm doing prep work for my first campaign ever, set in a wizarding school.

One of the resources I have come across are Ron Shirtz's gorgeous 1" map tiles. I've never actually played 3e with a group that used minis and maps before, and these maps really want to make me try it for once. I'd like to know if anybody else has used a similar resource, and what the result was for their game. If you know of any good downloadable collections, could you post the URL please?

Thanks in advance! :)

How-tos? or Examples?

I love what you guys have done with this.

I'd just like a couple of examples to get me started or even a webpage to show me how to use Paint Shop Pro to build my own Tiles.

I have PSP but havent really gotten deep into it yet, but if I had a couple of files then I should be able to muddle my way through it.

Any thing like this out there?

Darren.
 

Hello all :D

Yeah - I have to agree with you... Ron Shirtz's stuff is really cool :)

And to be honest with you - it was after seeing some of Ron's tiles (on the HeroQuest web-site) that I decided that I would try my hand at making some of my own - the result of which can be seen on the following page of my website:

I know that they don't come up to the same standard as Ron's work - but you may (or may not) find them useful :)



Another cool site that I have come across is the following:

(which I believe is what is shown in the above poster's photographs)
 

Actually, Kris, it was your excellent tiles that got me interested in them in the first place! The very first thing I did was to scour your website and your all your links:)

Incidentally, I'm going to use the 8-way tile for the Evocation practice room. Each of the exits will actually be an alcove with a protective barrier in front of the students!

If I can get some time and inspiration, I might start GIMPing out some tiles one of these days...

Ron Shirtz has a FAQ on how he makes tiles.

Hope this helps!
