August challenge: The Grist.

more labyrinthine variety. one of the tiles has two movable wall objects which can be used to create dead ends.

I like the tiles, very evocative.

The only thing that bugs me (and this is me mind you, so take it with a grain of salt), if the majority of corridors are only 5' wide. This means, for a game like D&D, where each creature occupies a 5x5 square during combat, the fights will become a battle of the front rank between the PCs and the Monsters. Further, Large Monsters (2x2 squares) are even further hampered by needing to squeeze in combat, a major penalty to those of the LARGE size.

I can do some bigger corridors. I just wanted to do some maze tiles. It only takes me about 5 minutes per tile.

edit: that type of critique is what I need as I am not too familiar with the mechanics of the various games, so all pointers I can get are helpful.

Well you have done a great job with this style of tile. It would also be nice to see some lairs. Like a Hobgoblin lair, Orc lair, bandits hideout, etc.

Can you elaborate on what a lair is like?

[Gamerprinter]

A lair would require several things (I'm including similar in my thread): a fighting position with nearby weapons rack, a living area with something for sleeping quarters, eating and food preparation, and a mean treasure storage. Plus size of such objects - small for kobolds, large for hobgoblins, etc.
