OK, so time to give everyone a few BIG updates across many projects...

So the guy with the metal cutter ended up just bending one of my tiles with his BLUNT guillotine, so I ended up getting a very good set of tin snips, cutting them all out by hand and then sanding all the edges with a disk sander and filing off any left over burrs on the edges... Took me WEEEEEEKS !

but without further ado, here is the result....

All these tiles are 30mm square sizes, are all Metal (so the magnetic tokens and figurine bases stick to them) and all have a nonslip rubber backing so once you put them down on the table they dont move. They feel amazing in hand, I really love them !

I have made a tile for every room on the original board, plus all the expansion rooms plus a few fan made ones I liked.
I have also made corridors that are 8x2, 6x2, 4x2, 2x2 squares in size and new magnetic tiles for all the cardboard cutouts from the game and expansions all resized for the 30mm squares.

Mucking around with double corridors on the original board layout (although I have designed it for modular not the double corridors hence why things dont fit exactly in this pic)

And finally... I had this ready just in time for the first Return of the Witchlord Quest...

here is the beginning of it... after my family opened the first door and triggered the ambush

as you can see some of my open doors have seen better days, cant wait for my new TWISTED CATACOMBs ones !!!!!

I am thoroughly impressed! I can guess that you probably glued the images for the tile art to the metal, but the fact that everything lines up so well is the real kicker! All I would know is, why did you choose not to make any 1-tile-wide corridor tiles? The original board featured quite a few of those...

I printed them out on high quality photo paper, Laminated them, glued them to the metal with contact adhesive, then glued the metal to the rubber backing with contact adhesive.

As for no single corridors, I dont want choke points, and I produced this to play with my Modular adaptions to all the quests which dont have any single corridors.

here is an example of one of the quests that I have adapted...

I am in the process of posting them here

Yeah i picked that up, and fixed it in the actual quest book, that was an old export, but nice spotting :)
I still am unsure how to attach the pdfs to make them available to others

The modular system looks great. Do you have issues with knocking the rooms and corridors out of alignment while playing, or does the weight and backing hold them in place?

Check your linked Quest Pack thread again about how to post your images.
