My Inked Adventures Map & Dice Playing Cards and the small scale Dungeon Cut-Ups are back in my Etsy store "InkedAdventures" on Etsy.com . http://bit.ly/IA_Etsy :) #DnD #InkedAdventures #dungeonsections #geomorph #fineline #illustration #playingcards #tabletop #RPG #dungeon #mapping https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Op2fBBFIc/?igshid=110cdzympl17

I'm playing around with my "Pocket Edition" Dungeon Cut-Ups. The pencil has been added for scale since the flagstone squares are only 10mm wide. A cork tile makes a handy non-slip surface (failing that, you still have the option of pinning pieces down). I sell the Inked Adventures Dungeon Cut-Ups Cards in my Etsy store. :) Either search for "Inked Adventures" on Etsy, or try http://bit.ly/IA_Etsy Shipping from UK to the world. :) #DnD #TTRPG #dungeonsections #dungeontiles #RPG #dungeonmap #Etsy #tabletop #illustration #InkedAdventures https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz83hdoho2j/?igshid=1nu1u3mggxsv8

Marsh and swamp experiment using my (Inked Adventures) Forest Cut-Up Sheets, the Wooden Floor pack, with a felt-tip (sharpie) pen. A customer asked if I had made any swamp tiles. I hadn't so far, but had a think about how I would improvise as a DM using existing tiles and sections from the printable PDFs. The darker areas can be either "boggy" impassable marsh or algae covered water, like in a swamp. I cut out the lighter grass areas and added lines on the edges with a pen to emphasise raised, hard areas (bluffs?/islands). The reusable sections are printed on thin card and secured with tiny blobs of blutack. (Also pictured: Dry-Erase Counters, but I forgot to bring a marker with me, otherwise they'd say things like "Lzrdman 1", "Hag" and "dead cleric" etc) Inked Adventures on DriveThruRPG: http://bit.ly/IAstore Main site: http://www.inkedadventures.com/main The art is originally hand drawn with fineline pen and colour added to a scan on a PC or iPad. #InkedAdventures #dungeonsections #dungeontiles #DnD #Pathfinder #tabletop

Mock set-up of 10mm minis with my "pocket edition" Dungeon Cut-Ups (which sold well in the run up to Christmas). This demo map is glued down. Some of the minis fall over, so I might have make some bases -whilst relearning to paint! It's certainly a micro-scale and portable approach for D&D type games (there are a few micro systems out there). Might be a bit small for some folks. I'm considering weighted card standees for monsters I can't get hold of. Again, they might be fiddly, but if I come up with something useable I might develop them to sell in my Etsy store or as a download to accompany the Dungeon Cut-Ups packs. (Scale 10mm/1cm = 5ft) Apologies for the blurry phone pics! #inkedadventures #DnD #dungeonsections #Etsy #heroquest #dungeonmaster #tunnelsandtrolls #roleplaying

I had some printing to card done today at a local copy shop. These are so lovely and glossy it's almost a crime to chop them up. :) - The Inked Adventures Dungeon Cut-Ups Pocket Edition is set to 1cm scale (0.4in) for a 5ft square in D&D - it's portable novelty, the cards are 9x6cm - like playing cards. They are too small for standard miniatures but some counter chits are provided. The concept is based on 1980s+ boxed floor plan packs, in the pre-colour copier and home printing age, but miniaturised. The art is hand drawn in pen (colour added digitally). Ideal for a small playing area, reusable and they pack away into a plastic playing card box. I find chopping them up rather relaxing now. Thanks again to my lubbly customers who have already bought packs along with my playing cards. These projects have each grown into a small business concerns in their own right. :o :) It's all very different from just selling PDF plans from the RPGnow and DTRPG. However, getting cost-effective printing for plans printed at 25-28mm scale is still eluding me. -Especially at the bulk -printing but at short print runs. I can see why many game developers turn to scary deadline world of kickstarters and crowd-funding. So for now (and just for now), I'm going with ickle colour dungeons. ;) inkedadventures.com #DnD #Etsy #InkedAdventures #Pathfinder #dungeonsections #dungeon #dungeonmap #tabletop

Today's experiment. I scanned and inkjet printed the hand drawn grid (see previous pic) onto OHP acetate sheets. Then I laminated the sheets. Apart from a few printer roller marks, it's a success, I think. Naturally the dry-erase pens work on them as well. If you don't laminate the sheets the sticky side picks up dirt and fingerprints. If I can also make a hex grid, then it might be a fairly useful accessory. I've seen similar things as perspex tiles and one of the AD&D Ravenloft box sets used to have a transparent grid for maps. These may just about pass as an actual tabletop product. :o :) #inkedadventures #dungeonsections #dungeontiles #tabletop #skirmish #tabletopgaming #RPG #DnD #pathfinder #dungeonsanddragons #minis #1inchscale

I got a real buzz tonight out of reading an adventure blog which depicted some of my #InkedAdventures sections in use in play. The Thulaen Lands is a grippingly written, well illustrated, darn fine D&D (5th edition) adventure journal. If you're into D&D, papercraft, printable figures and scenery, its worth checking out. (And "no", I did not pay the author) :D (I'm sure they won't mind me sharing the photos here) https://thulaen.wordpress.com #DnD #Tabletop #DungeonTiles #dungeonsections #minis
