Modular Battle Tiles: Rocklands, Straights and Corners



Thought it may be time to get out of the dungeon and in to the open air! This is the first of several sets of modular tiles that assemble into a large battlemap for your outdoor battles in Dungeons and Dragons and other such roleplaying games that use miniatures for combat. They are scaled to work well with most popular brands of 25/28mm miniatures, so they may even be useful to players of Warhammer as a quick battle ground layout.

The Rocklands sets are designed to represent an outdoor area with barren sandy low ground and rocky high ground, but are also fantastic for representing natural caverns and tunnels that have a more organic shape than man made dungeons. This first set includes a set of straights and corners and includes transition pieces to link it up to the Kev's Lounge Dungeon Corridors. The second set in this series, Rocklands: Crosses and Tee-Junctions is out now! Look out for future sets which will add more options. It also includes the Kev's Lounge Starlinks system to keep the tiles together and in place.

This set comes in 2 varieties. The first has a 1 inch grid which is useful for Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Ed and 4th Ed combat rules, and the other version has no grid for those who use miniatures but prefer a more organic and natural movement system.

Download Kev's Lounge: Rocklands Set 1 from Papercraft Dungeon! It's free!


Combine with the Corridors, Huge Room Dungeon Tiles, Small Room Dungeon Tiles and Bigger Room Dungeon Tiles to add even more variety to your battles!

Make your own Gelatinous Cube Miniature!


I've been pondering how I'd do this for years... decades even! Ever since I first opened my first copy of the Dungeons and Dragons 2nd ed Monstrous Manual way back in 1996. Last week while I was working on the forthcoming Dungeon Dressing set to go with the Dungeon Tiles inspiration hit me! This Cube is fairly easy to put together and uses Ink-Jet Transparencies and 2 Part Epoxy Resin.

Follow the link below to download the ZIP file, which contains the outline and art for the Cube and a PDF containing instructions on how to build it.

Free Open Dungeon Door Standees for use with 25mm Miniatures


This is an add-on to the Simple Wooden Dungeon Doors Set, rather than a full set in it's own right. It contains 3 papercraft door standees representing open dungeon doors. These are slightly more complex than the doors in the main set and it takes some patience and care to put these together, but if you have had any experience with papercraft modelling you should find putting these together is not too difficult. These should be useful to anyone who uses 25mm miniatures in their games of Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer. These would be perfect for a subterranean variation of Mordheim when you get bored of fighting in broken down buildings.

The PDF contains a single page with all the parts needed to make 3 Open Dungeon Door Standees.

Free Dungeon Doors for use with 25mm Miniatures

This is the first set of Dungeon Door standees for use with my Flagstone Dungeon Tiles. This set was built with low level dungeons in mind, and for that reason I've designed the doors to look simple and rustic. The kinds of doors you might expect to find on a farmer's cottage or inside an old mine. These doors are old and just a little rotten. You could break 'em down with your bare hands if you didn't mind spending hours picking out the splinters. These should be useful to anyone who uses 25mm miniatures in their games of Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer. These would be perfect for a subterranean variation of Mordheim when you get bored of fighting in broken down buildings.

As with the Dungeon tile sets I've included a few extras like a marker for a hole in the wall and a shelf packed with books and other odds and ends that the villain might have in store for the heroes.

This is the first set of many planned Dungeon Door sets... In the future you can expect to see some wooden doors in a more grand style, iron doors, stone doors and concealed and secret doors.

Free Ammunition and Potion Counters for D&D


This is a set of counters designed to make it easier to keep track of potions and ammunition during combat in Dungeons and Dragons . I've designed them in such a way as to make it very easy to get nice attractive double sided counters that are perfectly lined up. Single sided counters are a pain when they're upside down!

All the ammunition items and thrown weapons in the 4th Edition Player's Handbook have been included, except throwing hammers as I doubt many people would equip themselves with more than one of those.

I've included throwing knives and throwing axes, though I don't see these as Daggers and Hand Axes respectively. Throwing knives are generally pretty lousy for close combat being light and well balanced for throwing, so you may want to treat them as shurikens in terms of stats, though it's entirely up to your DM. As for the throwing axes, I've treated them more like tomahawks, but I must confess I don't really know too much about those, having grown up on the opposite side of the world to where those were popular. I've imagined them being relatively small, about 10 inches in length and weighing relatively little so that characters might carry a few of them... In terms of stats I'd be inclined to treat them as shurikens too, but if someone out there has a better suggestion let me know. I've only included 2 Javelin Counters as it seems highly unlikely that there'd be many people going dungeon bashing with whole bunches of pointy 10' poles strapped to their backs... let me know if you think there should be more.

UPDATED! Download Kev's Lounge: Ammunition and Potion Counters at Papercraft Dungeon

Contents:

Page 1: 4 x Double Sided Green Potion Counters, 4 x Double Sided Orange Potion Counters, 4 x Double Sided White Potion Counters, 4 x Double Sided Red Potion Counters, 8 x Double Sided Single Throwing Knife Counters.

Page 2: 8 x Double Sided Single Shuriken Counters, 8 x Double Sided Single Sling Bullet Counters, 8 x Double Sided Single Throwing Axe Counters.

Page 3: 3 x Double Sided 5 Throwing Knives Counters, 3 x Double Sided 5 Shurikens Counters, 3 x Double Sided 5 Sling Bullets Counters, 3 x Double Sided 5 Throwing Axes Counters, 2 x Double Sided Single Javelin Counters.

Use the counters like you'd use Energy in Risk 2210, or money in Monopoly. The denominations are marked by size in addition to the printed detail so that you can tell them apart at a glance. Different ammo types are also coloured differently so that it's very clear which ammo is which.

There are 4 different Potion counters, but they have been identified by colour rather than type. You can decide whether Healing Potions are green or red in your world.

Many possible arrangements can be made with the tiles in this set. These are just some suggestions.
With more than one copy of the set you can make some absolutely enormous rooms!

Large rooms need some help keeping the ceiling up, and are seldom empty. The set includes pillars and statues and other scenery markers to add some realism and variety to your dungeon rooms.

Use the obstacle markers to your strategic advantage in your games.


Use the Hazard markers to indicate the places where your character should watch his step in combat. Is that Persian Rug just a pretty decoration or is something nefarious lurking beneath it?

An interesting (unofficial) expansion for Risk 2210AD

While there will always be a purist desire in me to play games the way they were meant to be played, every now and then I do find something made by a fan that succeeds in making the game a little more interesting. This downloadable make-your-own Risk 2210 AD expansion seems to be a collection of all the better fan made add-ons, and it definitely seems capable of bringing the excitement back to Risk 2210 AD by changing the game for the better.

It includes:
Antarctica (Unofficial Expansion): An extra continent, changing the dynamics of the map in interesting ways, and subject to destruction by the Global Warming command card, much like Atlantis in Risk:Godstorm. Originally put together by Geoff Burbidge.
Tech Command Deck (Avalon Hill Official Expansion): The original Tech expansion, adding a 6th commander with a new set of command cards, changing the dynamics of the game in a way that'll make you never again want to play without it. It contains all of the cards from the original Avalon Hill Frontline Season 2, but someone has gone and created brand new artwork and it looks great. You'll still need to make a tech commander yourself though.
Factions (Semi official): The original 6 factions from Frontline Season 3 plus 3 fan made ones. The Faction rules give each player special unique advantages and drawbacks, shaking up strategies and adding a lot more variety to games. All artwork on these was re-done by Geoff Burbidge
Majors (Official Expansion): The original 5 add-on Majors Cards, plus a 6th for the Tech Deck. All featuring amazing new artwork.
Commanders 2.0 (Unofficial Expansion): Adds even more depth to the commanders by allowing you to upgrade them to 2.0 versions in-game. 2.0 Commanders can play 2.0 command cards which are slightly more powerful than the standard decks. These were originally created by Geoff Burbidge, but seem to have been updated somewhat by Anton Klink.
Advanced Tech Cards (Unofficial Expansion): Adds relics (similar to the relics from Risk:Godstorm) that give players certain advantages upon discovering them.

On the whole this set looks and plays great! The artwork has been done superbly, and the graphic design matches seamlessly with Avalon Hill's. Even if you choose not to play the unofficial expansions, the Tech cards and Faction cards in this set are by far the best looking versions I've come across and it's worth a look.

Free Dungeon Room Tiles For Use With 25mm Miniatures-Bigger Rooms


This is the third set added to our growing collection of free dungeon tiles, following the corridors and small rooms. As you may have guessed, this set allows you to incorporate bigger rooms into your dungeons, and also includes some new hazard and obstacle markers. These should be useful to anyone who uses 25mm miniatures in their games of Dungeons and Dragons, or Warhammer. These would be perfect for a subterranean variation of Mordheim when you get bored of fighting in broken down buildings.

Below is a download link to a 5 page PDF. The intention with these is to quickly construct the immediate surrounds of a battle scene so you can position the various fighters in any given combat, so unless you are planning on building entire dungeons, you should be able to get by with 1 print out of each, but it's your ink, print as many as you want! If you have the space for it on your gaming table, you could print out whatever pieces you need and give them to the players as they explore, slowly building up a full size 1:60 map of your dungeon.

Contents:
Page 1: 1 x 25' x 15' Dungeon Room End Section Tile, 1 x 25' x 10' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile, 1 x 25' x 10' Dungeon Room End Section Tile, 1 x 5' x 15' Caltrops Hazard, 1 x Wall of Flames Hazard, 1 x Dinner Table Obstacle, 2 x Barrels Obstacle Markers.

Page 2: 2 x 30' x 15' Dungeon Room End Section Tiles, 1 x 30' x 20' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile
Page 3: 2 x 35' x 15' Dungeon Room End Section Tiles, 1 x 35' x 20' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile
Page 4: 1 x 25' x 10' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile, 1 x 30' x 10' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile, 1 x 35' x 10' Dungeon Room Mid Section Tile, 2 x Stools Obstacle Markers, 1 x Crates and Barrels Obstacle Markers, 1 x Pot of Hot Stew Hazard.

Page 5: A selection of Door Markers: 3 x Closed Double Dungeon Doors, 3 x Half Open Double Dungeon Doors, 3 x Open Double Dungeon Doors.

Instructions: A) Printing:
For best results turn off "shrink to fit page" when printing it out. This will keep each flagstone at an inch square. Inkjet printers use water-soluble inks so extra protection may be needed after assembly. Laser prints should be pretty durable but the toner may scratch off with extended use.

B) Making the Room Tiles:
Use spray glue to attach it to thickish mounting board (2mm in thickness should do the trick) and cut out using a steel ruler and craft knife. Always use a sharp blade and be careful. The Room Tiles' walls are designed to overlap the black borders on the edge of the Corridor tiles, so I'd recommend doing the following with each of the Room Tiles:

1) Mark out a 5mm border on the underside of each tile, ignoring any edge that doesn't have a wall. You can do this by measuring; using a Corridor Tile as a guide, or by gluing a second copy of the room tile to the underside.

2) Cut a piece of mounting board with the same dimensions as the marked out area. This should be the same thickness as the Dungeon Corridor Tiles

3) Glue it to the underside of the tile using the 5mm border as a guide. You want to use PVA glue or contact adhesive for this, and you'll want to let it cure under a pile of books to keep it from warping.

Interlocking Tiles (Optional):
The advantage of having each room being made up of smaller sections is that it becomes modular and gives a lot more flexibility, but the downside is that the individual sections may tend to slide around on the table during a battle which can get a little annoying. If you feel like putting a little extra effort in when making the tiles you can try this approach to get the tiles to interlock and stay connected.


1) Mark out a 5mm border on the underside of each tile. You can do this by measuring; using a Corridor Tile as a guide, or by gluing a second copy of the room tile to the underside.

2) On a separate piece of mounting board, mark out an area the same size as the marked out area on the under side of the tile.

3) Mark out squares as illustrated below:




4) Cut out the foundation piece with a sharp knife and steel ruler, and glue it to the underside of the tile using the 5mm border as a guide. You want to use PVA glue or contact adhesive for this, and you'll want to let it cure under a pile of books to keep it from warping.

C) Making the Dungeon Door Markers
Print the Door Marker page on a slightly thick card stock, or stick the page to card using spray glue. Using a steel ruler and an embossing tool, score along the dotted lines and fold the card along each score mark (Tip: If you do not have an embossing tool, then a dry ball point pen will do the trick!)

Flatten out the card again and cut out Each Door Marker with a steel ruler and sharp craft knife. Always use a sharp blade and be careful. Fold each door marker again, creasing it with a spoon. Trim the bottom flap down to 5mm. It should now wrap around the edge of the Room tile.

D) Finishing and using the Tiles
For added longevity you may want to cover the tile in a self-adhesive plastic wrap, or seal it down with decoupage paper varnish. Cut the self adhesive plastic about 5mm wider than the tile on all sides and trim the corners off at a 45ยบ angle. Slowly and carefully apply the plastic wrap pressing down firmly as you go to avoid the formation of air bubbles, and then wrap over each edge sealing it. Air bubbles can be dealt with by puncturing them with a needle and forcing any air out by rubbing firmly over the area.

Use the alongside the Dungeon Corridor tiles during your battles. Using the Dungeon Door Markers to indicate entrances. Upon discovering a trap (hopefully not the hard way!) place the appropriate Hazard Marker so that you know exactly where it is when planning your tactics in combat.

This is only one set in a much bigger collection. If you haven't already, you're going to want to download the Free Dungeon Corridor Tiles, Free Dungeon Small Rooms Tiles and Free Dungeon Huge Room Tiles. Follow the link for the instructions and download.

Free Dungeon Corridor Tiles For Use With 25mm Miniatures


This set is now out of date. See the newly updated corridor tiles page for the fixed up set, now with twice as many pages.

This is our gift to all the roleplayers and wargamers who use miniatures in their games. These should be useful to anyone who uses 25mm miniatures in their games of Dungeons & Dragons, or Warhammer. These would be perfect for a subterranean variation of Mordheim when you get bored of fighting in broken down buildings.
