Thank you so much to anyone who goes to check these guys out and helps support the channel :)

City Tiles are one of those things that makes me really excited to make terrain for D&D. The realistic look you can achieve with these kinds of tiles, as opposed to flat, shiny printed battlemats is part of what really sold me on making my own terrain!

Battlemats are ok as a starter, but they never inspired me, and always felt (to me!) like it was boiling a cool D&D scene down to a very basic level 😕 They just didn't have enough texture, height and detail.

Making my own means I can control how big the tiles are, where they come apart, what accessories I can add and where as well as how easy it is to add details like dirt, puddles and so on.

This is the sort of thing where its actually harder to do it with a product you buy, because they were designed with a specific system in mind, and if you don't like that system or only want one part of it....tough. You get the same as everyone else.

Or you take back control and make your own 😁
