Our first glimpse of the Hand Drawn Geomorph Tiles from The Game Crafter in their new packaging. The foam inlay has two bays which are handy in play for organising the tile deck. We’re also considering a more compact box, but for now this is what the pre-print tiles from TGC arrive in. (The tiles are 3.5 in sq appx each)

Prototype testing for large scale/figure geomorph tiles. The larger tiles are 10”x10” – to the standard scale of 1″=5′=1sq – as requested by many of the customers who bought the hand drawn geomorph tiles (which are a small, yet handy, 3 to 3.5 inches square).  Each tile is cut from two pages printed on card.

The art was originally intended for small tiles only, I’m impressed at how the pen art looks at a larger size – naturally all of the inaccuracies have been expanded too. ;)

I must confess, I ended up playing with the Lego whilst setting this up.  I dedicate these images to everyone who supplements their tabletop games with Lego minifigs.

Inked Adventures Hand Drawn Geomorph Tiles from The Game Crafter site with rounded corners!

We’ve having a few hiccups just trying to make the Geomorph Dungeon Tiles available in printed form through TheGameCrafter site.

I’m now able to buy my own boxed tile packs (72, 3.5in square, cards per pack) from this page:

https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/inked-adventures-geomorph-tiles

Hopefully everyone else will be able to too, and hopefully our product will appear in the searchable store index.

These tiles are slightly larger than the those in the PDF on DTRPG – they are three and half inches square.  I’ll be working on figure scale geomorph tiles soon.

TheGameCrafter is a Print On Demand site, so prices can sometimes be a little higher than card games that are printed in bulk.  Also watch out for postal insurance and high shipping charges.  In the UK I had an extra handling charge after the package was stopped by customs.  If it happens again I’ll but up a note on the TheGameCrafter store page recommending the product to US and Canadian customers only – all other buyers beware! ;)

A Free Sample of 5 tiles from the Hand Drawn Geomorph Tiles product is now available to down from DriveThruRPG and other OBS sites.

I’ve found in the original pack that there were a couple of repeat tiles (tiles 97 and 98 in the DM’s notes file) so I’ve replaced them with the following graphics.

If you bought through the OBS sites (DriveThru, RPGNow, WargameVault etc) the product will have been automatically updated in your Library. This design may also become available in a free sample pack – to be published shortly.

Thanks for reading. :)

If you’ve tried to create your own dungeon crawl game or tried to play something resembling D&D with your own children then you’ll appreciate most of Rab’s observations in his blog, The Geekly Digest

Rab has been working on a children-friendly fantasy RPG called GoblinQuest (working title). In the play-testing with his sons I’m honoured to see that he has been using the Inked Adventures Modular Dungeon Sections. Check out his blog for more information.

Excellent! :)

Here’s wishing you all a great holiday season. Thank you for following, downloading and buying, or just dropping in to the tiny corner of the net that is Inked Adventures. Here’s also hoping that the New Year and MMXIII will bring you ever so slightly closer to your dreams.

May you dungeons be beautiful!

Please Note – Small Scale Product

Unlike some of the other Inked Adventures products these Geomorph Tiles are not scaled for use with 25-28mm figures. Each tile represents a large dungeon area and is only 8cm (3.2 in) across to minimise whitespace waste. The 10×10 grid on each tile means that each square 8mm (0.3in) wide.

Small geomorph tiles have been used in gaming since the 1970s mainly for map planning and reference in play (wikipedia)

If you require hand drawn 1in=5ft scale tiles or ready-to-use floor plan sections for use with miniature figures may we recommend our Square Dungeon Tiles or our popular Modular Sections Basic Pack.

Inked Adventures Hand Drawn Geomorph tiles can be used with alternate rows being staggered.

This also creates increased variety when exiting an area in random play because one tile now can connect to 6 other tiles.

Available now at DriveThruRPG and RPGNow $5.50 (reduced from $7.50)

Not much new news.  I’m still plodding away on these geomorphic style tiles (see previous) and a few top secret projects.  If you’re a bit of a networking addict and would like to follow random pictures from Inked Adventures on Tumblr, the address is

These geomorphic dungeon tiles are still a work in progress, intended primarily as a pre-print product, but possibly a PDF as well. The trick is to make enough tiles for the pack to be truly random and fun to use (at least 40 unique tiles plus a few corridor repeats). The final cards will be approximately 3.5 inches square with blank parchment coloured backs so that they can be laid out on the table and turned over when a new area is entered. The grid scale is either 5ft or 10ft depending upon how grand the Dungeon Master like their dungeon to be – still too small for minis, but a fun RPG play-aid nonetheless. I’m currently working on entrances and exits from the megadungeon map “within” the tiles (whilst retaining all four exits). The edge of the tile map will be the edge of the table. I’m still divided about whether or not to include terminating “edge” tiles. I may throw in some blanks because part of the attraction of geomorphic style tiles is drawing your own. So many “mights” and “maybes”!

Watch this space! Digging in progress …

… character sheet, record sheet, stats card etc..

In a break from our usual programming I’ve decided to have a go at designing a character sheet with hand drawn elements for the Tunnels & Trolls game.  Not an official product (free download), I reckon a player could get by using this landscape character sheet -inspired, mainly, by gamebooks.

Since the elements were drawn on paper and then assembled in GIMP, the text then added in open office, I’m hoping that I can get away with it’s roughness  being a homage to Letraset and wood print. ;)  Next time I’ll plan it better and just draw the whole thing as one art piece.

I hoping I haven’t missed anything out that’s too obvious.

Massive thanks to my friends at RC for writing such a splendid and unexpected review of my Square Dungeon Tiles.

It made my day! :)

http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=25668

Some early designs for small geomorphic tiles. Not quite sure where I’m going with these – maybe the colours will be brown-sepia ink on parchment.  If I make enough I guess I could actually get some pack printed through TheGameCrafter.

The Dungeon Master can choose if the grid is 5ft or 10ft.

Ideally a respectable pack of geomorphs needs to have at least 36 tiles (possibly all being unique).  So far I only have a handful – but they are lots of fun to draw. :) 

We’ll see…

I wasn’t comfortable with the standard doors which I have supplied in the Square Dungeon Tiles Pack, so I thought I should add these new designs as a free product.

Enjoy!

This promotional graphic was fun to make since it provides an example of a dungeon layout using the new square tiles. :)

Composited in GIMP. Feel free to share this on blogs and forums. ;)

Oops, it appears that some goblins stole a few rooms from the original Square Dungeon Tiles set, but with the help of elven scouts we have retrieved the missing parchments!
