Tile of the Week #116 + Product Update

Here is today's Tile of the Week entry plus some information on a few new PBE Games releases. This tile is a half-size sewer geomorph with several connected rooms and corridors.

Tile 116 - Player Version



All Tile of the Week images are free for private use. You can download the images above using right-click/save as. Each tile is a 100px per five-foot square image, sized for compatibility with Dungeons in Blue geomorphs. The entire Tile of the Week Collection is also available as a pay what you want bundle if you're feeling lazy, and I'll be updating this soonish to include the last eight or ten tiles posted here.

I've also published a handful (a big handful, actually) of new Mega Tiles and Complexes. For those unfamiliar, Mega Tiles are single quad-size tiles that are compatible with other Dungeons in Blue geomorphs. Complexes are dual-purpose, quad-size tiles. They include both a standalone version you can use as a one-shot dungeon and a geomorph-ready version you can add to a larger creation.

Mega Tile 38 Preview

Here's the brief summary of all the new products, along with a couple of product previews:

  • Complexes #13 shows a system of large caves that contain a small lake. The area is only reachable via holes in the ceiling.
  • Complexes #14 depicts a traditional dungeon with large, pillar-filled halls and chambers, two shrines, and a room with a huge, empty dais in the center.
  • Complexes #15 shows a large chasm or tunnel with two outdoor entrances. Various rooms and tunnels are carved into its sides.
  • Complexes Triple Pack #5 is a discount bundle containing all three of these products.
  • Mega Tile #36 depicts an enormous underground chamber surrounded by smaller rooms and four shrines.
  • Mega Tile #37 is a cave complex with many statues scattered throughout. An underground river, crossed by a bridge, cuts across one corner.
  • Mega Tile #38 features a traditional dungeon complex with several prominent features and new construction along one side.
  • Mega Tile #39 shows a cavern complex divided by a cliff face. Traditional dungeon corridors and rooms fill one corner of the geomorph.
  • Mega Tile #40 shows a single huge chamber containing many smaller rooms. A river featuring docks and bridges divides the space.
  • Mega Tile Five Pack #8 bundles all five new Mega Tiles into a single package at a discounted price.
  • Mega Tile Big Deal #2 offers a larger discount on Mega Tiles 21 to 40.
Complexes 14 Preview
With that, I believe I'm caught up with new releases. Thanks for reading and happy gaming!

Tile of the Week #114

I haven't done a Tile of the Week entry in a while, so... here you go. This is a standard-size geomorph that depicts an underground river that feeds a lake. Someone or something has built a bridge over the river and carved out a chamber nearby. Underground rivers and lakes are also the theme of the recently released Dungeons in Blue - Waterways Pack, which contains 27 full-size geomorphs, each with a water feature. You can see a preview of one of the included tile sets at the end of this post.

PBE Games - New Dungeons in Blue

I've just finished publishing three new Expansion Sets, plus a discount bundle Triple Pack, for Dungeons in Blue on DriveThruRPG/RPGNow. Here's a quick summary:

  • Expansion Set P contains nine full-sized tiles and includes a mix of traditional dungeon rooms and corridors, caves and mine tunnels.
  • Expansion Set Q has six half-sized and six full-sized geomorphs. They're evenly divided between caves and dungeons and include sewer lines and cross-tile water features.
  • The nine full-sized tiles in Expansion Set R include a fortified entrance, a small tomb complex and an underground prison as well as the usual selection of tunnels, chambers and caves.
  • Expansion Triple Pack Six includes all three sets at a discount price.
Here are a pair of one-third scale previews to whet your dungeon-building appetite.
Set P
Set R
I'm also happy to say that Expansion Sets S through Z are all in the can and ready for publication. I also have a small set of special tiles featuring labyrinthian corridors and passages ready to go. I plan on getting them all out the door before the new year.

Thanks, as always, for reading. I hope you'll take a look at all the PBE Games products available on DriveThruRPG or RPGNow.

Tile of the Week #101

I haven't done a Tile of the Week entry in eons, so I thought it was time to add to the collection. This tile is a standard geomorph with some symmetry. I think it looks like a grand entryway of some sort.

Assembling Geomorphs in Gimp

As you probably know, I produce a line of geomorph tiles for VTTs called Dungeons in Blue. I was chatting with a customer via email recently, and they asked how to assemble geomorphs into complete maps without using an image editing program. I didn't have a good solution for them and eventually discovered that they felt Gimp was a bit too complex for such as simple task.

A Dungeon Map

I was messing about with some black and white mapping in Gimp/Inkscape today, and this is the result. Nothing particularly fancy, just a traditional dungeon complex.

Player Version



These maps are sized for standard letter-sized paper (8.5x11 inches). They're also scaled for VTTs, 75px per five-foot square, the same scale as the black and white maps I've published on DriveThruRPG.

One hundred tiles. That can't be right, can it? I guess so. Here's the latest Tile of the Week geomorph. It's a four-way intersection with a built-in elevation change.
