Inked Adventures Hand Drawn Geomorph Tiles

After having played around with these, I had some ideas for a possible future expansion and a few notes for improvement:
- Add some half tiles, with 4 connecting exits, so you can "finish" your dungeon. Perhaps even quarter tiles.
- Make some paper heroes and monsters to populate the dungeons.
- Colour them :P coloured versions of everything would be really awesome.
- The JPG's from the pack were easy to print at the right size on A3 paper (2,5cm x 2,5cm squares) 25x25cm tiles, but at that size, you could see pixels on the prints. The PDF's might be sharper, but I didn't feel like cutting and glueing them all, so I used the JPG's instead. Are those a lower resolution? Otherwise, you might want to up the resolution on the tiles.

All good suggestions - indeed I had torturing myself previously with similar thoughts.

-I started work on some 4-exit tiles and corner pieces but the work expanded exponentially.  For now I want to return to my normal tiles/sections.  This set has divided my fans and customers!  

-Every time I sell figures with packs- people look at the figures only, and not my tiles. ;) My collaborative Encounter Lairs (areas with figures) are my lowest sellers.  There's plenty of free paper figures and really good paper minis out there (I've had lots of support from artists from http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/ ) - I'm holding off for now. Also I'm still a bit rubbish at drawing humanoids. ;)

-In fact I'm thinking about encouraging people to colour the tiles and counters themselves.  It can be a fun feature especially for parents playing RPGs with young children.  - Maybe another competition! -  Maybe at  a later date they will become coloured-in.  This is a generation of players like to colour in their battle mats will wipe-erase markers - I still have much to learn about the "modern ways". :)

-Again, there is a big issue with project time.  This set was never designed to be used at this scale (even I had to add that disclaimer about quality).   It works, but it's a long way from sharp quality. The art and scan quality were set up for 3 inch tiles.  I would need to rescan all of the art and start from scratch - which may still happen since there's a lot of the art I'm not very happy with.  
It's brilliant that you can print to A3.  Printing to A3 changes everything!

Thanks again for everything you're doing. :)
