This product is definitively a five star item for three simple reasons:
- I never liked Geomorph tiles, but when I noticed these ones I changed my mind. So this product is good even if you don't care about this kind of gaming resources;
- If you are so mad to print some of these tiles on an A2 card you got a maga-dungeon for 28mm miniatures;
- Try to Google "dungeon geomorph tiles", you will find nothing cool as these Hand Drawn Tiles!

Inked Adventures' "Hand Drawn Geomorph Tiles" not only offers us game masters the ability to make up unique and interesting dungeons, but also makes them look the way we've all wished we'd been able to ourselves. These hand drawn tiles are done in a forced perspective style that is detailed enough to be evocative yet not overly busy. There are two exits on each face of the regular tiles, which are comprised of both cavern and dungeon passages and rooms in an impressive number configurations that are both inventive and useful. In addition to the regular tiles there are numerous dungeon entry/exit tiles and tiles with "dead-end" configurations. The possibilities are virtually infinite. My only complaint would be that the squares are a quarter inch across, so that this set will not work for games requiring a 1" = 5' scale using 28mm minis. Overall, an excellent product.

This is a marvelous collection of rough parchment and aged paper document blanks that can be used as game aids to enhance RPG player handouts or customize gaming event posters. They would even be fantastic as backgrounds for character sheets or army rosters. An excellent product for the avid gamer or GM who wants to add that little extra something to the gaming experience for their group. I will be making frequent use of this product.

The following review was originally posted at Roleplayers Chronicle and can be read in its entirety at http://roleplayerschronicle.com/?p=25668.
Square Dungeon Tiles contains a collection of 31 hand-drawn tiles plus a collection of scenery options in a single, handy collection. The tiles use a common grey-stone floor texture along with a darker grey-stone/brick wall. The entire thing is hand-drawn and uses perspective and shadows to represent walls and stairs. To avoid visual boredom, the floor stones are “textured” in a way that makes them feel much more “realistic”.
OVERALL
The collection of tiles is enough to sell you on the Square Dungeon Tiles kit, but the addition of the scenery options truly seals the deal. With these options, you can add real doors, remove hallways from the tiles (or add a secret door), and add other bits and pieces to make the assembled dungeon more appealing. The hand-drawn style look beautiful and the method of shadowing and “texturing” the floor really helps keep it from looking static and boring as if all the stone was smooth and polished. All in all, it is a great collection for a great price when you want to set your explorers into a dungeon using a battlemap.
RATINGS
Publication Quality: 10 out of 10
The size consideration of these tiles works very well. Each tile is essentially 8×8 with the edges actually cutting down the middle of the last squares, allowing them to meet-up with adjacent tiles. More importantly, the wide variation from tile to tile means you can add a lot of different rooms.
Visual Appeal: 10 out of 10
The hand-drawn style truly gives it that old-school appeal while remaining clean and clear for the non-OSR fan. The use of shadows on the tiles and stairs give a sense of depth while the perspective of the walls clearly define the height of those walls. The design of the doors also enhances the visual appeal of the set as a whole, providing a sense of the types of wooden doors you’d expect in a dungeon.
Desire to Use: 8 out of 10
Square Dungeon Tiles is an excellent collection for building dungeons. The addition of the scenery is fantastic although it could probably use another page or more variety (although you can get these from other Inked Adventures products). I would like to see more room dividers such as archways or something rough leading into a cave or cavern. In addition, all the hallways are 2-squares wide, although this is fairly standard. It is common to create dungeons that have varying sizes of hallways such as 1-square or up to 4-squares wide. A very minor thing and doesn’t really detract from the overall usage.
Overall: 9 out of 10
If you’re going to design an old-school styled dungeon crawl using a detailed battlemap that spans multiple sessions, Square Dungeon Tiles is one of the best tile collections you can get. The price is extremely reasonable and you get a lot of options aside a beautifully hand-drawn design. It should be noted that you also get a set of tiles that allow you to create a flexible-sized room in 8×8 chunks.

This set is AMAZING. The tiles featured in this "Add-On" supplement are a great addition to the "full" set.
My favorite feature is the option to print these with the black or white (to save ink) fill-in sections.
I say grab this ALONG with the FULL set to get the most tile options for your dungeon!
In my opinion, this set his INKED ADVENTURES at its BEST!

Inked Adventures brings this out of NOWHERE, and WOW what a set!
He offers an ENTIRE dungeon on 6x6 tiles that will easily fit together without the fear of smaller awkward pieces sticking out, or narrow hallways that are fragile while being stored.
He deliveres all of this in his one-of-a-kind brilliance and unique style. Beautiful color and a level of 3D feel that you can't generate with computer. I plan on using this set as a "deck" and you flip the card over to reveal the next room or hallway.
He covers EVERY preference with choices of "A4" or US 8 1/2 x 11" paper, AND has white background (to save ink) or black background to "fill the voids."
I suggest that you pick this up as well as ALL of his other sets that would work beautifully with this.
ACE!

This is a fun little addition for dungeon props. You get several pages of fold-up furniture with easy -to-follow instructions. Most of the furniture ends up as a "box" with the furniture printed on it, but that works fine to create a 3d effect and also makes it easy to place your paper minis upon the props themselves.
The furniture also looks strong enough to hold your average plastic or 30mm metal mini.
All in all, a nice addition for very little money

OK. It's free. It's a dungeon crypt. It works well with the other undead set Inked Advenures has already released (or the Chapel for that matter). And it has a cool 3-d door.
The detail is excellent and the room is large enough for a decent encounter.
And, again, it's free.
So get this and see how cool these maps are. (OK, yes, I'm a dungeon prop-whore, but this is very cool!)

This is a fun set that immediately evokes several advenutre ideas.
The three pages of room overlap to form one large, two-level encounter area with lots of fun details (I love the strange, Cthonian/ Cimmerian looking statues and idols in the basement.)
And of course, it fits well with the other Inked Adventures sets.

A very affordable set of floorplans that evoke the old-style feel of Dungeon Floorplans or the old TSR Kidnapping of Princess Arelnia/Revenge of Rusak sets.
You get a variety of rooms, including some special chambers, lots of hallways and tunnels and doors, and a couple of pages of furniture and other stuff to detail your dungeons.
For the price, its a great set, and fits in well with the other Inked Advenutres line.

OK, this is a great set.
You get three rooms, one staircase/hallway, and a hidden treasure chamber.
The details are nice and evoke the right atmosphere for a hidden lair, and there are enough little extras in the artwork that will make players take their time to explore the rooms.
The artwork is more of the same, awesome, Dungeon Floorplans-style that we see in the rest of the Inked Adventures series.
I can easily see this working well with the Basic Set...or as a hidden room under the Chapel (I knew those Templars were up to no good. Never trust a Holy Warrior.)

Cool room: Check!
Nice retro style: Check!
Big enough for a decent combat: check!
Nice detail that adds to the atmosphere: Check!
Cool paper minis to use as adversaries: Check!
A great set, well worth the price. And you get evil eyeballs too!
OK, I would have preferred a slightly less awkward mini-basing system, but its still a great set.

Another great set from Inked Adventures.
Good detail, and a bunch of minis.
However, the minis were a bit lackluster for me, not because of the artwork, but because its one big group of the same guys: holy knights. The undead, creepy cultists, and even te wierd elves from the other sets have a lot of reusability, but I'm not sure how much milage I'll get out of that many holy warriors. It would have been nice to see holy warriors and something else.
Still, worth the price and a lot of great detail!

Another great set from Inked Adventures.
This is a good mini-adventure encounter: you get a one page map of a forest clearing with some enemies to fight. The instructions on how to use multiple printings of the clearing to make an outdoor "dungeon" was a nice touch.
The drawing style is remenicent of the old Citadel/Games Workshop Dungeon Floorplans days, giving it a great retro style.
The minis are fine, but it would have been nice to get more variety, to do soemthing besides just green elves.
My only other complaint is that the mini bases are awkward to assemble. I'd rather see something like the Pathfinder Minis or Battle! Studio does for their minis.
