Zombicide Custom Map Tiles Set 1

Ok, the delay has been long enough.  I am now releasing my first Zombicide Custom Map Pack.   This consists of 19 various tiles depicting a highway.  In this case, I'm depicting Highway 85




Over the past month or two, I've been working on a custom tile set for Zombicide.  This tile set is based on Highway 85, the highway that Rick Grimes, Dale, Glenn, Shane, and the rest come upon a traffic jam and can't take the Winnebago any further.  Granted, it's based on the scene, and not accurate at all.  Glenn's charger wasn't there.  the canopy wasn't open on the Winnebago, and other stuff.  Each tile represents a small section of the road.  There are 19 tiles in all, you can combine them to form any size road you wish, AND they can be combined with the original tiles and other custom tiles.  Here is the contact sheet.


Graphics for this tile set come from a variety of sources.  Most notably is the Dundjinni Art fourms, of which I'm a long standing member and collaborator of.  Also, Miah Terry, of boardgamegeek fame as well.   Here's his blog if you want to visit.  He also makes custom Zombicide stuff that is quite fantastic.  Tell him I sent you!

Inside the MASSIVE 84 meg zip file are all these tiles, the contact sheet, a read me about printing them and a PDF of clarifications to the tiles in case you can't understand the zoning laws.  I mean seriously, how hard is it to not walk on your neighbor's lawn?  That's what Zoning Laws are for.  To keep you off my lawn.  I've got a shotgun and I'm Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino. Get Off My Lawn.

Anyway... enjoy these tiles, and don't forget to leave feedback here if you like them.  The more feedback I get the more likely it is that I will continue my pursuit of creating tile sets depicting Woods, Herschel's Farm, a prison, etc. etc.   Zombicide map making program zip file coming soon...

Oh, and I think you need a link to the tile set huh?   Ok, here it is.

REMEMBER, the Zombicide tiles are printed at 25 Centimeters in size. Your local print store will be able to help.

People still play D&D...

It was during the later days of car designing that I met a wonderful woman that became my wife.  Cindy is a wonderful woman that I love sharing my life with.  That along with having a son is another story that can be told later.  This is about D&D....


After the GTA thing, I moved into more D&D, deciding on the creation of a "home-brew" world that I could send my role playing group through.  That world was Valla Moor.  I built it from the ground up, and I was a bit slower than that 7 day record we would all aspire to.   I'm still building the world, adding more into it as the fancy strikes.  I've got the home city/town fleshed out, mapped out to a 1 to 1 scale for miniatures use.  I use a program called Dundjinni.  It's a wonderful map making tool that makes it easy to build maps for just about anything role playing wise.  That town, if I printed it out to scale of the minis, would be 12 FEET by 14 FEET.  it's awesome...


Each grid square on that map is a 1 inch square, that gives you how massive this 12 foot map would be.  A man with a screenname of Hylas helped me with this project by creating a lot of these buildings that I used.

The hometown is called Csighd.   It's not quite been destroyed by the various players that have called it home.  It's been invaded, burned, taken over, etc. etc.  all in the name of Hextor.  He's the ruler of the world and has the people subjugated for almost a thousand years.  Undead abound, Elves are slaves, evil rules, and the heroes are considered rebels.  It's a fun and different take on things.  D&D always fuels the imagination.

Always remember.... People Still Play D&D
