Build your own dungeons with 50+ Map Tiles! (ttrpg.network)

Hi everyone, just wanted to announce our upcoming Modular Map Tiles—a solution to the limitations of static, one-size-fits-all battlemaps.

We’ve created a collection of over 50 high-quality, modular tiles that can be mixed and matched to create endless dungeon layouts. Each tile is designed with a wide variety of features, including corridors, rooms, traps, treasure vaults, and more—giving you the tools to customize the dungeon as you see fit.

Each map is aligned to the center of the x-axis, y-axis, or both, which you can use to mix and match the maps. The tunnels match in size and placement, allowing for easy connection!

Our tiles are currently designed around the unique theme Ancient Temple. These tiles are thematically suitable for most dungeons, ancient ruins, temples, and other buildings. And if you're looking for even more variety, our Stretch Goals will expand the collection with a new theme and more dungeon tiles!

Interesting. To be useful for me, they'd have to come with "unlit" versions, since I always add actual dynamic lights (flickering torches, etc) in Foundry VTT. With lamp light drawn on the floor, it would look silly since that won't be visible from a distance - only when a PC's light source shines on it, which makes no sense.

That is a good point! I will create variants for unlit versions that I will include in the rewards.

Perfect, thank you very much! That means I'm a lot more likely to back it.

Out of curiosity.

How many of you do regularly have traditional style dungeon. I mean, everything can be seen as a dungeon Even the quest of the A38 Pass. But infiltrating the Caste of Lord and Lady Evildoer to find-out the evil ritual room hidden behind the ballroom is already kinda different from the traditional dungeon.

And the other question, How many of you use battle-map, and need stuff more details than at best a sketch on a white board.

Because I am always surpised there is such a market for this kind of tiles, I feel like it's the kind of stuff you need once every few years, not the kind of stuff average group use at half of the session.

The popularity of games like Shadowdark and DCC suggest that more-or-less traditional dungeons are very much 'still a thing'. They're not everything, but they're still a thing.
