PROS: These are ... wow. Gorgeous, really bringing back that homey old "dungeon crawl" feel. I'm actually surprised how much I prefer this look to the more modern "well-polished" e-Adventures style for old school fantasy gaming.

For kids' fantasy games, where you may want a single permanent layout to make games more friendly, gluing these to black poster board will make a wicked awesome gameboard.

CONS: This set is MUCH harder to use than geomorphs. Also, an errant breeze or a knock to the table will completely destroy the layout, while with geomorphs the layout could be quickly re-created. I'm more likely to print these on plain paper and glue them permanently, which is a bit wasteful.

A loooot of ink is wasted on the unnecessary parchment background, and the way it increases the overall image size makes it very difficult to scale the rooms up and down (for, say, 1.5" clickbases, or the slightly-bigger-than-1" bases required to fully base some Reaper figs).

A product like this will live or die on the strength of its art, and these sets by Inked Adventures are right up my alley. These are not hyper-detailed textures or simple cut-and-paste jobs. The art is hand drawn by the pseudonymous "Billiam Babble", who gives it a funky old-school feel. The tiles have clean lines and are high enough in contrast that they look good in both color and greyscale, and the movement grid is worked into the design rather than being overlaid on top.

Inked Adventures: Evil Summonings is a supplemental pack. Much smaller than the Basic Pack, it presents a four-room mini-map featuring a summoning room (is that circle inscribed in blood?) with a cell off to one side. Behind a heavy door is the warlocks room, with four-poster bed, bookshelf, desk, and stacks of tomes. A secret concealed alcove holds two treasure chests (one decorated with skulls), more books, and a pair of dubious-looking sacks.

All in all, these are some great, high value packages if you like the art style (there's a free sample if you want to see what it looks like). I'm glad I was sent these as a review copy, because I had no idea they were out there, and I'll definitely be watching for more Inked Adventures in the future.

The main set, Inked Adventures: Modular Dungeon Cut-Up Sections Basic Pack, is an enormous bargain. You've got doors (single and double in a variety of styles, stand-up or flat counters, plus specialty doors like a tomb door, a secret door and a portcullis), 5 and 10 foot corridors, corners (square and curved), junctions (T and 4-way), and dead ends. You get your choice of either diagonal corridors or adapters that let you hook normal corridors on at a 45° angle. You get stairs (straight and spiral) and rooms of various sizes. And you get separate counters of dungeon dressing: furniture, chests, pits, trapdoors, pools, rugs, corpses, piles of bones, piles of treasure, statues, tombs, fountains, bridges (over water, lava, or simply dark chasm), a dungeon entrance, and an idol room for human sacrifices. Phew!

OK, is it me or does this art style bring back AWESOME memories!

Thank you SO much Billiam Babble for helping us relive our youth AND make new memories with our kids!

I will buy everything you upload... (did I just say that?)

This is quite possibly the coolest thing to happen to paper tiles in a LONG time! The art style is delightfully retro and the building possibilities are limitless. I've tried a LOT of different tiles and I think this series is the one I will be sticking with. I'm very excited to see a full release and many more to follow!

I love this style art, hand-drawn, old-school, slightly cartoony but with the right level of detail...A home run by Billiam!

I can't wait for more of the items to stock dungeons with and this download is worth your time if for that page of fun stuff only!

Very nicely done!

Awesome sample package. The rough comic style and the ancient font bot are an excellent match for the type of game I like to play. I especially love the perspective of the walls, which give a three-dimensional impressionand increase spatial awareness . I am looking forward to the final product!
