The wizard stabbed his staff of power into the soil, magical energy poured forth from the staff into the earth as the wizard chanted the incantation of creation. A dull rumble from below slowly crept up to the surface as marble blocks of stone broke through the grass and started to form walls, towers, and a doorway into the magically conjured structure.

This set of map tiles is designed to act as an expansion set for adding special feature structures to your role-playing adventure maps. Build a small magically conjured building, or craft an entire facility to meet whatever needs you have as a Game Master.

Sample Maps made from the Wizard Blocks Map Tiles

Map Tile Scale

Studio WyldFurr’s range of digital role-playing tokens and map tiles all make use of a standard scale of one real world inch rendered at a scale of three screen pixels, for a standard 5ft character square of 180 pixels square.

Thus each map tile is a depiction of a 5ft square of terrain. But we also include in each package, a 50 pixel scale version of each map tile for those of us who use the smaller 50 pixel square size.

Want to have a look at every map tile that is inside the Wizard Blocks Map Tiles pack before committing to buying the pack?

We have assembled a Sample Guide PDF that displays every map tile that is included within the package.

Download the PDF and review the pack before deciding if this art pack is right for your campaign adventure maps.

How to use our Map Tiles?

Our map tiles have been designed to act as a ready-made collection of art assets that can be assembled into the form of an adventure structure (eg: a dungeon) by simply assembling the pieces like cartography Lego blocks.

To do this all you need is one of our Map Tiles Packs, a graphics editing program such as Photoshop, Gimp, or another Graphics Editing application that will permit you to use pre-created art assets.

If you are not sure about what to do, we have a tutorial about building your own maps with GIMP, or Photoshop.

Paper Griffin Maps provide system neutral locations to help game masters flesh-out their roleplay campaigns.

10/07/2153, 0617. All human personnel is to be evacuated immediately from Production Facility Mechatron-7, on direct orders from the Noatun Central Command. Control over Mechatron-7 is to be temporarily transferred to A.I. construct NODOS, to secure continued production.

In a huge facility hidden underneath the ocean, an army of robots continues to carry out the final orders of humanity. Waiting for the humans to return, the work tirelessly in decaying factories. But now, decades after the humans left, something has changed. Some robots have started to express their own free will. Will these self-aware robots save the Collective - or lead it to its final downfall?

This is the second major expansion to Mutant: Year Zero, the award-winning post-apocalyptic pen&paper roleplaying game by Free League Publishing.

Mutant: Mechatron tells the origin story of the robots, and introduces them into the dawnworld of Mutant: Year Zero. Some of the contents:

• New rules for creating and playing robots. A unique system lets you build your machine character part by part. The book includes all the rules you need to play!
• A detailed description of Mechatron-7, the huge underground robot hive, including a beautiful full-color map.
• The complete campaign Ghost in the Machine, putting the player characters in the middle of a conflict threatening the future of the entire robot hive.
• An overview of how the robots can adapt to life in the Zone, and join the human mutants of Mutant: Year Zero.

The cover image of Mutant: Mechatron (above) is painted by none other than the acclaimed scifi artist Simon Stålenhag, known from his amazing Tales from the Loop artbook. The interior art is made by the skilled artist Danny “Dark Mechanic” Morrison.

Some of the greatest and most feared figures in the history of the multiverse earned their reputations or positions by mastering the secrets of magic. From the crazed wizard who built three high towers and sealed demon lords in the dungeons below them, to the accursed mage who descended into the Abyss to confront the Queen of Dragons, to the chosen mage of the Goddess of Magic, whose influence has helped shape entire realms, these figures command power unmatched by other mortals. Magic makes of them gods when compared to the mundane peoples. And although many such beings have earned esteem for their good works and heroic exploits, others have surrendered to their base desires and used their superhuman magical abilities for selfish ends.

     The Blasphemies of Bor Bwalsch, a supplement for 5th Edition, reveals a selection of twenty-four spells created by one of the multiverse’s most sinister figures. As his native realm was being swallowed in the shadow of some cosmic destroyer, he used his magic to breach the boundary between realities—and through the fissure he fled, bringing his dreadful advances in dark magic to the unsuspecting world he now calls home.

Battle Beneath the Earth

A one-man earthquake threatens a local dam, but the heroes are in for a far stranger conflict than they can imagine.

Tremors lead to their abduction deep beneath the earth into the realm of the Molten Men, where they are case into the Gladiator Pits of Gorm! Can the heroes survive the challenges of Molten Men warriors, magma beasts, and more and overcome the magics of the shaman Emberglass to challenge the cruel General Gorn himself? Their freedom, and the future of the Underworld, stands in the balance.

This adventure for Icons Superpowered Roleplaying is suitable for any group of heroes and makes an exciting sequel to The Terror of Tiki Pterodactyl.

Africa a vast and intriguing continent - home of 1.2 billion people and just as many myths, clichés, and misconceptions. There are 54 separate nations here, along with two disputed sovereign states and nine dependent territories. Colonialism and the slave trade are both still alive and well. Religious wars and politically motivated bloodshed are constant. Disease, unrest, and hunger are persistent problems, and if that weren’t enough, there are dozens of animals more than happy to make a meal out of some unwary humans.

As Operators, you’re going to be spending a lot of time in Africa. You might as well get settled in and get familiar with the place. You’re in for a hell of a ride.

Map making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games. Rising from the crashing waves is a stout and imposing structure which stands guard over the approach to the coast and harbour, built so that its batteries could project force out into the sea and fend off hostile ships the old sea fort has seen better days, but it remains a reminder of a nations determination to protect itself.

The Sea Fort presented here is suitable for historical, modern, near future or fantasy settings.  Whether it is still a functioning fort, has been abandoned, converted to a hotel or is now the home of some supervillain or mad scientist bent on world domination the Sea Fort offers endless possibilities for adventure.

In addition to the maps, key and a short introduction to Sea Forts, their history and purpose, this product also includes a dozen adventure ideas for various genres or settings. 

Example Adventure Hooks: 

10/. Here Be Monsters (Dark Fantasy/Horror/Pulp/Sci-Fi)

Several of the fort's garrison have gone missing lately, presumed to have fallen into the sea and been washed away. When a half-dead man is pulled from the sea everyone is surprised to find he isn't one of the missing me, in fact, no one knows who he is. Fading in and out of consciousness and half-mad he raves incoherently about sea monsters or sirens (or both). Is he really just mad or might his ramblings be the answer to what really befell the missing members of the garrison?

(M R McGowan)

12/. What Lies Beneath? (Fantasy or Horror)

They built the fort on a basalt pillar out in the middle of the ocean - not to defend The Empire from its enemy's navy, but to protect the world against what lived in the basalt tower...now years have passed and the only one who remembers their duty is the ageing padre - but the young officer just heard the scritch-scratch of claws on stone beneath the lowest levels.

This is a collection of  Sci-Fi/industrial themed standard OpenLOCK floor tiles with a diamond plate surface design. It includes at least one 3D model (in STL format)  for each of all 55 of the standard floor tiles shapes defined in the OpenLOCK (may 2018) standard by printablescenery.com, and multiple versions of the majority of them. Multiple version allow more flexible alignment of the tiles with the floor grid (e.g. for a triangular tile there will be a version where each of the three sides lines up with the edges of the grid squares) and to compensate for the diamond plate pattern not being fully symmetrical when rotated by providing additional versions with the pattern rotated by 90 degrees.

These riser tiles are intended to compliment  OpenLOCK Floor Tiles - Diamond Plate Double Oblique Pattern (Fine). Riser tiles facilitate constructing surfaces with multiple heights of floor within a single 'layer' construction. The narrower riser tiles can also stand in for solid walls and barriers/obstructions.

The surface Design is based on the "diamond plate" metal sheets used as anti-slip surfaces in industrial applications. There are multiple patterns of such plates and this one is based on the a more elaborate pattern with rows of double raised 'diamonds', arranged obliquely to the plate edges and with the pairs alternating in their direction in every other row.

The 3D models are designed specifically for FDM printing with PLA, in that they have a designed internal volume(s) to minimise infill and the 3D models include removable support structures where they are necessary for FDM printing so the addition of slicer generated supports will not be necessary.

The ZIP file contains 233 STL files, corresponding PGA image files and a PDF.

OpenLOCK tile identifiers, Sizes/Shape, and the number of versions of each

* The units used in the descriptions are in floor grid squares, or 1 inch (25.4mm) units.

** GA and WA tiles were proposed for inclusion in the OpenLOCK standard but have not been included in version 8.0 (May 2018). They were included in the creation of this set of 3D models because they were under consideration at the time of development.

Note: These OpenLOCK tiles are also offered in a "Coarse" version, which has a lower density of 'diamonds' in its surface patterns. The standard floor tiles that they are intended to complement are also offered in "Fine" and "Coarse" detail size options so if these are being bought to go with a floor tiles set then it would be a  good idea to verify that this is the correct corresponding riser set in terms of detail size.
