Inked Adventures Desert Cut-Up Sheets
Printable PDFs & 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:

1 in = 5 ft for 25/28/30mm play when printed at 100% scale

We recommend printing the PDFs straight onto card, photo-paper 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 color in with paint or felt pen.

Graphics Files

Design your own desert tiles

Editable PNG graphic files have been included should you wish to customize 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 check-out or in your library, to avoid downloading the large graphics Zip file.
