Homemade, 2D, Modular Tileset


Miniatures


Hopefully this is the right forum for this, please let me know if it isn't.

I got into Pathfinder a couple of years ago, and have been using the Beginner's Box Flip Mat since we started. It's a great product, and it has served my group well, but as an artist I'm big on visual stimulation.

Initially, I wanted to attempt some 3D tiles like those of DMScotty, but as a college kid with limited access to materials (mostly transportation... it's shockingly difficult to get even trash cardboard with only your feet to get you around) and a serious lack of time and space, it's not really feasibly.

What I do have, however, is some talent with a pencil and a copy of Photoshop. I've spent a while now trying to figure out a totally modular system of printable tiles, and to be honest, it's not completely feasible. There are simply too many variables that would require slight variations, which kinda defeats the entire purpose of a modular set.

So for now, you can download the current set as a .pdf here.
WARNING: THESE ARE NOT FORMATTED FOR PRINT.
Currently the tiles sit too close to the edge of the page, forcing you to print at 94%, obviously not good for play but works just fine for testing overlaps and construction.

Here's a quick room I whipped up using the tiles and some interior wall pieces. Click me!

I'll load up a checklist of things still not accomplished yet. There's a lot! Please feel free to download and use these however you'd like (non-commercially, that is). Please keep in mind I WILL be updating the files, they are far from complete.

Let me know if they're helpful, or if you have any suggestions for moving forward. Some of the pieces might seem weird, so feel free to ask if you can't figure out what the heck I was thinking.

Additional info: I'm going to be printing them out in full color, laminating them, and then using tape on the backsides to connect them when it's game time. Eventually I'd like to do at a bare minimum a wood set and some exterior pieces (to be used with flip-mats). But for THIS set...
