Inked Adventures Desert Cut-Up Sheets
Printable PDFs and Graphics Files (PNGs)

The Inked Adventures Desert Cut-Up Sheets PDFs are a hand drawn print-and-cut-up style accessory, designed for tabletop roleplay, but it can also be used with skirmish wargames using miniatures.

The grid is set to
1in=5ft for 25/28/30mm
play when printed at 100% scale.

We recommend printing the PDFs straight onto card, photopaper or paper (A4 or Letter size).

How to use the Cut-Up Sheets

(text taken from the Read Me / Introduction document)

The Desert sheet (sand dunes, p1) can be printed multiple times to create tiles which when brought together will create a large play area (like a battlemat). The Canyon Rocks sheet can be cut-up and used as counters to represent rocky scenery. The Rocky Outrop sheet is a set piece, a natural ziggurat, best left whole, but referees can experiment by cutting it into different shapes.

A PDF containing black and white line art has been included in cases where printer ink is limited. These designs can also be fun to colour in with paint or felt pen.

Graphics Files
Design your own desert tiles

Graphics editing exampleEditable PNG graphic files have been included should you wish to customise your own desert tiles in an art program of your own choosing. These designs work well when imported as layers.

Using a trim tool, the top layer -perhaps the canyon graphic- can be trimmed away revealing the desert sand layer beneath. In some programs you may need to activate “transparency” to do this, or use a “mask” tool. Alternatively, the files can be cropped to create scenery counters for a dungeon mapping application.

The Graphics Files Zip Folder:
9 cropped image files, PNG, 300 DPI, 2100x3000px

Please note:

The Graphics Files are not specifically prepared for use in Virtual TableTop software and may require a lot of modification before being imported into a VTT library. 

The PDF files do not use layers so that they can be previewed in most platforms, applications and devices without problems.  Please do not leave reviews berating the lack of this function.

Hand drawn art: We cannot guarantee the exact accuracy in dimension or the “joining” precision that is standard in some computer generated art. Despite this, we hope that this product retains a “rough and ready” charm for the improvising referee for whom the product is intended.

Tip: If you intend to only print plans from the PDF files and have a slow internet connection, download the PDFs individually as listed by title after checkout or in your library, to avoid downloading the large graphics Zip file.

Usage and Copyright: Inked Adventures and the artist Billiam Babble retain the rights to the original art work supplied herein. The customer is purchasing this product for “personal use” only – or to share with a small playing group – within reasonable limits. If you would like to use any element of this pack in a commercial or free-to-use product, please do not hesitate to contact Inked Adventures to discuss options.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
