Modern Day Map Tiles

Tangle with corporate security guards, or rumble in the urban jungle in a street brawl with a criminal gang! The Modern-Day Map Tiles set of role-playing map tiles expands our original Dungeon Map Tiles set with Modern Day Urban Map Tiles. Now you can build street scenes, shops, urban houses, and industrial workshops.

Expands on the Dungeon Map Tiles Set

This set of map tiles was designed from the beginning to expand on the range of map tiles found in our Dungeon Map Tiles set (plus the Dungeon Map Tiles II Set, and Cave Map Tiles Set). Now you don’t need the other map tiles sets to use the Modern Day Map Tiles set, but we recommend getting both so your players can explore an urban environment or an ancient dungeon!

All of the grass tiles interlink with the grass tiles from the original Dungeon Map Tiles set.

What is a Map Tile?

A map tile – in the context of this set – is a square of artwork depicting a specific 5ft by 5ft area of terrain. Such as the floor of an office, an area of the street sidewalk, or where the floor meets a wall. In order for a Game Master to build an adventure map for players to explore, map tiles are placed onto the digital canvas one by one until the desired urban setting is constructed. Be that terrain an area of the street, a Cafe, an office, or a secret corporate bunker.

Each map tile is a combination of hand-drawn artwork and photographic source material that gives us the unique style of all Studio WyldFurr Map tiles. All of the tiles have been rendered from a birds-eye view of the landscape, with shadowing used to give the illusion of depth.

How to use the Map Tiles?

The map tiles have been made as a kind of ready-made art pack that you can simply just drag-n-drop onto a digital art canvas to build a map. To do this all you need is a graphics editing program such as Photoshop, Gimp, or another Map Making program that will permit you to use pre-created tiles to build maps. We recommend using Gimp, it is free and is a very powerful program for this task. If you are not sure about what to do, we have a collection of tutorials about building your own maps with our Map Tiles.
