Vexing Sands – Desert Tiles for Any Game System

on August 6, 2010 in News

Dare your players traverse the Desert? Their bleached bones would make a fine addition to the cruel vexing sands …


Inked Adventures have teamed up with Escape Velocity Gaming to bring you Vexing Sands

Take me to Vexing Sands on RPG Now!

Vexing Sands available at RPG Now and Drive Thru RPG

Description:

* a 7″ x 10″ page of desert details: draconic bones (featured on the cover), a fort, palm trees, rock outcroppings, a pool of silt, worn stairs, two lungfish, a multi-armed statue, a fire pit, a skeleton with sword and shield, a beautiful oasis pool, a pair of obelisks, flowers, cacti, a pile of skulls, blood splatters, a pair of merchant’s wagons, and a buried treasure chest!

* a 7″ x 10″ blank desert sheet with a “hidden” grid (the natural features such as rocks and bones suggest the one inch grid and work in a very subtle fashion)

* a sheet of bonus tiles compiled from changes to the main detail sheet (alternate colored items, tiles combined for greater variety and greater fun!)


All three pages come with a one inch grid overlay and non-grid versions. All items are detailed with adventure ideas. Vexing Sands comes with seven scenarios which help a GM base adventures around these full-color tiles.

These tiles are system-neutral and perfect for any fantasy, old west (with a supernatural theme), or even modern horror rpg.”

The concept and writing is the brainchild of the talented William C. Pfaff and the slick layout with optional 1 inch grid is prepared by William H. Moran III. What frightens me is that this many Wills or Bills in the same place cannot be a good thing! :o

I’m especially fond of the fort (not shown in the preview). I hope to post some photos of it in a mock-up of its use in tabletop play soon. :)
