Northern Kingdom Map (latest WIP)

Some of you might recall that I started a slightly more detailed map of the Northern Kingdom from the Age of Shadow setting a little while back - but the whole thing got put on hold as I finished off the Tiles of the Dead (and was plagued with computer issues).

Well, this week, I hope to sit down and finally get it finished if I can ...but in the meantime here's a quick peek at how I plan detailing/colouring the whole map (as seen in the small rectangular section of the map):

The finished map should be A2 in size (i.e. four sheets of normal paper), and I plan on making it available with and without labels - and possibly as a simple black & white line drawing too (for ink saving purposes).

Hopefully, it will have been worth the wait :)

Colony 19 : room 2 (FREE tile)

As mentioned in a previous post, I've decided to make the following map-tile available as a free expansion to the Colony 19 range.

Get it HERE for free

And if you'd like to see a whole set done in a similar style (which I'm sure will happen at some point in the future, but if you'd rather see it sooner that later) then just let me know!

Dungeon Monthly (April 2013)

Here's this month's dungeon map:

Also, here's how all four of this year's maps would look if they were pieced together to form a much larger dungeon:

...though they can of course be expanded upon (and veer off in any direction you like) with the cave/dungeon geomorphs that I've posted on this blog over the past couple of years :)

Note that unnumbered versions of each of these 'dungeon-monthly' maps (suitable for virtual tabletops) can also be found in the following G+ albums:

50 pixel per grid square album

70 pixel per grid square album

New Colony 19 Freebie?

Since my main computer is dying a slow an agonising death, I've been digging around on my hard drive this past week (in-between writing some new Age of Shadow material), and been rediscovering a few little projects that I've started work on ...but not got round to finishing yet.

One such project was a new style of Colony 19 tiles ...a prototype of which can be seen below:

However, I was thinking that, since this room could quite easily be used in conjunction with the existing tiles as a basic med-lab (or similar), it might be a nice idea to make it available as a free download (i.e. similar to THIS one).

So what do you think? Would you rather I wait until I have a whole set completed in this style? (as there is a chance that the final style may end up being slightly different to this prototype), or would you just like to get your hands on this room as is stands?

(also, if a new set of Colony 19 tiles is something you'd like to see added to the top of my current 'to do' list ...then feel free to let me know, and I'll see what I can do :) ).

Tiles of the Dead : Games Room

After last week's launch of the new Tiles of the Dead map-tiles, I thought it would be nice to release a free sample/expansion tile to accompany it.

Hopefully, this will give those who've already purchased the set another tile to add to their collection, and at the same time, provide a free sample for folks who're just interested in taking a quick look at the style of these new tiles.

Anyway I hope you guys like it - even though this one was done for a bit of fun (as it features a room in which a few folks were role-playing when the zombies attacked).

Tiles of the Dead : Games Room is available from

Tiles of the Dead : Set 1

I'm very pleased to announce the release of CSP's latest tile set:

Tiles of the Dead : Set 1 is the first in a series* of zombie themed map tiles designed for use with 28mm miniatures.

In this particular set you'll find a variety of rooms and corridors that can be used (in numerous different configurations) to represent the interiors of small houses and apartments.

Included in this set are the following:
4 corridors
4 storage areas
3 toilets/bathrooms
3 living rooms
3 bedrooms
2 kitchens
1 dining room
1 home office
5 stair variants
20 small corridor pieces (to create your own custom shapes)
15 door assemblies

In addition, each of the rooms and corridors are also supplied as smaller jpg files** ...making this set equally useful on the virtual table top.

Tiles of the Dead : Set 1 is available for $5.99 from:

WargameVault

*hopefully there'll be a series of these ...so if you have any suggestions of what you'd like to see next, feel free to drop me a line.

**these are supplied in two sizes - the first is scaled at 70 pixels per grid square, the second at 100 pixels per grid square.

Tiles of the Dead (update)

It's time for another quick update on the zombie tile set ...so here's a look at the latest room that I've completed:

So, with most of the rooms/corridors out of the way it's time to turn my attention to a few door assemblies/counters ...and here's the first door that I've completed (in this case an exterior door):

Note that I'm still playing around with different ways to assemble the doors at the moment, but the above example would go together something like this:

...possibly allowing it to be glued to a regular 25mm (round) miniature base - for added stability. However I've not decided on the final design yet (so any thoughts/comments would be more than welcome).
