Okay, this is a completely random distraction, which doesn’t directly link to modular dungeon sections or gaming art. If you have a Facebook Account you can try out my Anglo Saxon Runes App which converts normal type into simple runes. It’s very basic, I may have to improve the actual rune letters and its not meant for runic scholars or Tolkein Dwarf Scribes – it’s just for fun.

Here’s some photos of test printed sections for the Crypts, Tombs and Catacombs! Pack. This is only a small part, just the new versatile “Alcove Room”, perfect for statues and lurking beasts, and the stand-up crypt doors (single and double).
Site News: I’ve added some new photos of the Skeletal Archway & Portal and the Large Dungeon Entrance to the Gallery Page and on the Flickr account. One of the photos in the gallery (and several on Flickr) relates to an alternative approach to the bases of the doors and ways to link card sections with more solidity -see this thread on CardBoard Warriorsuntil I add the details to the Support and Errata page.
*Whistles whilst digging through the dirt and skulls*
Members of theLost and the Damned Forum and the Cardboard Warriors Forum will have seen some of these pictures showing some art-in-progress for the forthcoming Inked Adventures: Crypts, Tombs and Catacombs! pack. (Lucky fools!)
Crypts, Tombs and Catacombs! will be another mini-map and floor plan pack, starting with the map, followed by several pages of modular dungeon sections set to the inch grid scale, plus some assorted goodies. It’ll be slightly larger than the IA: Evil Summonings pack. (Price tba.)

After much slaving with infernal technologies, we are pleased to announce that the first official pack in the Modular Dungeon Cut-Up Sections range is now available to buy and download at an introductory price at DriveThruRPG (and related sites). Lulu publication to follow shortly.
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. :)
Dare your adventurers pass through the Skeletal Archway! Of perhaps they wish to see what happens when they enter a mystery portal …
Maybe armies of the dead are pouring forth through this inter-dimensional gateway…
(Thanks to Mortis from the Lost and the Damned Forum for the suggestion that the archway could also be a portal)
This map editor program can be used with a selection of different art packs. The “Printer Friendly Dungeon Art Pack” (PFDAP) and two other packs use similar designs to the art in the sets which are downloadable from this website.

There’s been a delay in the launch of the official Modular Dungeon Cut-Up Pieces “Basic Pack” / Pack 1. This is due to an organised strike of Dwarven Architects and a disagreement with Elven Scribes over scale measurements. Negotiations are taking place deep in the Ancient Mines of Mulmarrith Darr Vaknor. Beer and wine are being sent down on pack mules.
These are photos of dungeons which have been very quickly constructed using the free sample Modular Dungeon Cut-Up Sections pack – using a mixture of card, paper and glossy photo paper.
DMs should feel free to experiment with paper clips, glue or weighting, since paper and card can be an imperfect medium! ;)
Photo 4: This part of the dungeon layout a meant to portray a quest room or treasure chamber – using two of the smaller rooms in the sample pack spliced together (there will be a selection of larger chambers in the other Packs). To the right is a storage and cess/drain room. Note also the pit trap counter – which is reversible for when the trap is reset. Unfortunately paper is curling a little on the larger room – I recommend strong card! The stand-up door is printed on photo paper and glued back to back – or more careful DM would trim off any white overlaps. The intention of these photos was to demonstrate a very rapid dungeon construction. N.B. the pieces are reusable, but since an unlimited number can be printed a DM can also glue pieces to background tiles before play.
Sample Pack is now available at Lulu.com for free!
Edit:
Some credits and acknowledgements are required here, since they are not in the document itself. Thanks for tips, encouragement and suggestions from Mortis and the motley crew at The Lost and the Damned- especially for reversal counters and stand-up doors. I mustn’t forget all the nice lunatics on Deviant Art ;) Thanks also to Rusty Axe Games for prompting me to build up a collection of dungeon graphics for a forthcoming dungeon editor program (watch this space!).
I dedicate this and all future packs to long suffering friends and family – their worried half smiles indicate that I haven’t completely disappeared into a dungeon of the mind! – Bb :)
