Your first sentence states, “So I’ve said before that I have every dungeon tile set that Wizard’s has put out.” Do you have a list (or know of a listing) of all the tiles sets that have been produced? I’ve *think* I own a complete set (maybe not including FreeRPG Day tiles) but I have no listing to check against.

I love SlyFlourish’s master map listing and was looking for something for the tiles sets. I also have scanned all of mine in and use them often in Virtual Table Top play.

Thanx,

Kizan

I’ve been playing with building dungeons in 3D and rendering them to printable pages:

Even the most simple maps look better with rendered shadows. The only problem is lack of props. Something I’m working on now.

Shadowfane, I have a tutorial on here for printing maps off adventures and dungeon magazine that actually uses posterazor.

Thanks for your comments and for visiting!

NewbieDM, just came across your blog and really enjoying it. Thought I’d chime in here as I love making maps – battlemaps included, which I draw from scratch in Photoshop. Perhaps I’ll get round to posting them some time.

Anyhow, my reply is to say check out Posterazor for a cool program that takes image files and organises them to print to what ever scale you want over multiple page. Very easy, and free.

Cheers,

Shadowfane

@Nariah:
I will make it available for you. You can print it our fullsize in Excell.

I’m very much interested in your full-size version. I’ve been making my own tiles and maps for a couple of months now, but sometimes the party just seems to chew right through them so it takes some time to prepare for each week’s session. I use Photoshop to edit the tiles and Illustrator (with a grid) to make maps.

Thanks for the map layout to the Lizard King’s room!! Will come in handy this Sunday against him. Can you post his stats too? LOL

Fergus:
I did not, I just look through my stash of digitized things and use the snapshot tool in Adobe Acrobat.
I have Acrobat set to snapshot at the same resolution my document is in Photoshop, and paste it right in.
A pallet would take too much time to create!
Thanks for the link btw!
