Just downloaded (from link in OP), there seem to be no hallways indeed... What's up with them?
Have a look ;)

Yup, there they are, and nicely done.

I wonder however, why you did split up the corridors in just this way - would it not have been better to make just straight passage ways, so the gamemaster could put them on the table when they come in sight of the heroes (without looking around corners)? Probably you didn't have in mind the gameboard to be set up during play at all, but your tiles would be well suited for that, would it not be for the corners...
Or was this just impossible to fit straight corridors on A4/USletter in a practical way?
Just wondering...

I haven't seen this file yet, but if it's like the plans I saw and copied for my own cut and pasting, I used 8 corners, four T shapes with one squares, 4 T shapes going to 2 squares and 22 (I think) 1x3. It is broken up pretty good that way. Oh, and two 2x3. Don't try printing more than 4 across and 5 down, it'll either resize everything or crop edges off.

My tiles are 1.5 inches, and I saved the files if anyone is interested just pm me.

I meant to answer your question in my previous post, guess I got distracted.
The way I interpret LoS, you can see if anything is on the square just around a corner, like you can see that there is no wall. Not for projectile attacks, mind you. If you don't like this, just tell the players that you cannot see what is on this tile yet while pointing it out. So that covers corners. That leaves the straightsways to be divisible by 3. This works nicely, because after putting a wall, you only have one extra at most, which might be there if they get around to it. I also made 3 2x1 corridors, but rarely need them in practice.

I went with a slightly different design for my own set. All straights are 1x3, each corner is 2x2 and each intersecion 3x1x1

■■■ x24 (E

[min of 24 (E. I made one extra 1x3 and three 1x2 cause I like the extra work. Not really though. It is a little tedious.]

Instead of (C you could double up on (A for a total of 16 corners. That way the straights are still divisible by 3. Is this what you mean CP?

I started out only using the top and right sides of the board to avoid the shadows, but I was missing all the cool artwork, so I decided to copy from all over. There were two places I moved one over to include inbetween the square artwork or avoid cutting it in half. This means I have two tiles with the same square on one side, and one square that did not get included. Times two.

Just gotta remember the shadows go on the Top and on the Right. Shadows go Top and Right. Got it? Top Right. 3, count it 3, count it 3, 3 times, and say it again. Top Right. Bow and Starboard. 12 and 3. That's clockwise from the top, yep that's right. Shadows go on the Top and Right.

From now on when I say tile I will be referring to the whole cutout piece and square to refer to individual squares on the tile. Capisce?
