Yummy FREE download. (apology for the repeat of the previous thread - I'm rearranging since I've been given my own section, hurrah!) Inked Adventures : Modular Dungeon Cut-Up Sections – Sample Packbit.ly/freedungeonRPGDrivethru80's retro style hand drawn dungeon sections. The is a sample pack containing 2D five foot wide passageways with "3D effect"walls, rooms, objects, a couple of stand-up doors and so on. (In fact it's not as well finished as the actual Basic Pack is, but it gives you an idea of the type of look I'm aiming for). If you don't like DriveThruRPG - you can download it from my Deviant Art page: fav.me/d2q6ljoFlickr slideshow: www.flickr.com/photos/inkedadventures/sets/72157624183649095/show/See this thread for general discussion about the range and ideas etc. but also feel free to comment here.

Thanks and good luck with that. Remember that the sample set was a bit of a prototype in places - a little rough around the edges - also you're limited to 5ft wide corridors, but this set can be lots of fun for a small dungeon crawl. I can see I'm going to have to do some photos with lots of the minis from this forum. I love line-art as a style, and many of the figures here remind me of the illustrations in Lone Wolf and the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks etc. Again, I think I projecting my nostalgia on the work of others.

All these classic style tiles make me want to design a series of classic style basic figures with flat coloring and thick lines to match. I know I have a few of the really old miniatures catalogs with some really great figure art ,nice and cheesy looking figure designs from the 80's and early 90's. I have a bunch of Erol Otus art as well ,I loved is style, especially the adventurers and monsters. JIM

Go for it! ;D I'm a big fan of Joe Dever and Gary Chalk who did a lot of designs for Games Workshop, as well as Lone Wolf, and 1st ed Talisman. I think that they was a lot of caricatures and exaggeration at GW in that period.

I hope this is the right thread to post them... otherwise feel free to move it where it have to be. Leobester, a user of the italian Heroquest forum, took some shot using the available free sample. I think they're worthy to be shown here: The "welcome" team to the entrance on the classic HQ board: A tiny dungeon: Now, a really nice thing: A WIP trap: the column have WORKING hiding blades:

Again, some wonderful improvisations. Cool photos. I think that these sets are definitely in need of fireplaces. There's one in a special HeroQuest-style set coming up. Cork blades? Corks as pillars is a great idea as well. (I try to keep quiet about the fact that small rooms can be cut up and made into larger rooms, in the hope that the need for larger room will make people buy the Basic Set!) ;D The entrance sheet printed well. There's not enough above ground entrances to dungeons in floor plans in my humble opinion. Thanks again, Parduz (and thanks again to Leobester / members of the Italian HQ forum)

Cork blades? Corks as pillars is a great idea as well. The story is that Yon (another forum user) is building a quest for the annual RL meeting. He asked for a column trap (which begins rotating with extending blades). I saw once columns made of corks in the Heroscape forum (there's a whole lot of great terrain builders, there), and so i told about it. Then both me and Leobester started building it. This is my version: The blades are made by "rolling" paper.. i guess that a paper version could have some use. Sorry for the OT The entrance sheet printed well. There's not enough above ground entrances to dungeons in floor plans in my humble opinion. Yes. Imho you should try exterior tiles and 2.5D vegetation. Your style is unique and there's nothing that can match your entrance in the market.
