Tile of the Week #10

The latest Tile of the Week entry. This entry is one of a new style I'm working on, which features geomorph-crossing water features. The river and lake edges will match up between these tiles (though a few older tiles are out of luck, as their water edges weren't designed with this system in mind). This particular tile shows a river (well, stream really), leading into an underground lake or sea. To the north, someone's excavated a fortified tunnel system, while to the south, natural caves lead away from the watercourse.

Tile #10 - 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.

Diablo 3 Consolidated Boss List

With the release of Reaper of Souls for Diablo 3, it's time for a new boss list! This is a consolidated listing of known bosses of interest, specifically those fulfilling the Unique Collection (UC), Special Assignment (SA), or Haunted (HA) achievements, or dropping legendary crafting materials. Listings are alphabetic by boss name, with creature type, location, availability via bounty, legendary drop, and achievement, if any. This information has been culled and gathered from a variety of sources, and is, of course subject to error. You can find more Diablo 3 pages here.

Wilds - Down, Left, Right?

After finding the dead body spiked to the wall, the party's desire to find the necromancer is further increased, but so is their caution. "It's clear he... it knows we're coming back, so we need to be careful," says Durego.

PBE Games - Release Update

Here's a quick update on what's new from PBE Games on DriveThruRPG (or RPGNow if you prefer). First up is a new trio of Dungeons in Blue Small Dungeons:
Of course all three maps are available in Map Pack #3 at a discount. If you're unfamiliar with Small Dungeons, each map comes in two flavors, a stand-alone version, and a gemorph ready version that can be connected up with other Dungeons in Blue tiles. Here are the one-third scale previews for these maps, showing the player versions of the two types:

Small Dungeons #7

Small Dungeons #8

Small Dungeons #9
I've also published three more Uncommon Ground textures:
And that's it for newly published stuff. Coming up, I'll have a new set of Dungeons in Blue tiles featuring underground streams and lakes, plus more Uncommon Ground, and a new stand alone dungeon map, Traitors' Cavern. There's a new One Page coming out soon too.

Thanks, as always for reading, happy gaming!
