Latest Updates from Our Project:
Wizards Tower Unlocked
about 5 years ago
– Thu, Apr 25, 2019 at 09:41:50 PM
That's yet another Stretch Goal unlocked! The Wizards Tower designs will be added to the books.
This adds 4 pages (2 per book) of 'Wizards Tower' so you can either use these as the individual storeys of a tower or mix them with the other designs as circular rooms! This also adds these pages as 4 new tiles to the Digital Dungeon.
Here's a page from this set, the 'Ritual Chamber' or arcane attic as we often refer to it, would be the top level of the tower with a trapdoor granting access from below. Surely only really safe magic rituals would take place here...
Not that the standard entry and exit points are still present on this page, so this could also be used as a circular room alongside the other designs.

And it's onto the next stretch goal! And the next design is.............
With wide hallways, rubble piles and smashed walls something big must have been moving through these chambers, but look treasure!
The Dragons Lair designs are the last of the Stretch Goals that will add pages to the books and if unlocked will give each book a page count of 40.
This stretch goal will add 2 'Dragons Lair' pages per book (4 pages in total) allowing you to create multiple spreads using both books.
Social Goals

1000 Backers!
about 5 years ago
– Wed, Apr 24, 2019 at 11:02:47 PM
We've just passed the landmark figure of 1,000 backers, which is awesome!
Seems like a good time to share some details about one of the most popular questions we're hearing.
Our Existing Range and the Dungeon Books
The question is how compatible are the Dungeon books with our existing Battle Mat Books, and we can happily say that they're very compatible.
Size wise, the Big Book of Battle Mats has an A4 page size (approx 8x12"), the Giant Book of Battle Mats has an A3 page size (approx 17x12") and both Dungeon books are 12x12" as a page size. This means the height of the Big Book and the width of the Giant Book are comparable to the Dungeon books.
There is a good video review and page browse through of both the Big and Giant books from EHGaming on YouTube here
Here's a couple of quick photos showing some layout examples using a combination of books.
First we have the Big Book of Battle Mats connected to the Dungeon books.

And here is a Giant Book of Battle Mats with the Dungeon books, giving us a graveyard with connected dungeon with a total area of around 24x41"
Giant Book of Battle Mats with the Dungeon Books
Both Big and Giant books, including the Sci-Fi themed versions are already available at retail from a wide range of online or brick and mortar stores.
If you wanted to add the Big or Giant books as part of the Kickstarter it's as simple as increasing your pledge by the required amount, you'll be able to confirm any add-on items you want during the pledge manager after the Kickstarter finishes.
And remember we are not increasing the shipping costs beyond the flat rate for your country regardless of what extras are added on.
Social Goals
Many of these are so close now! These will add pages to the PDF adventure module when we hit them. As a reminder here are our social goals with the links you will need -
100 FB shares - Please share the link to this Kickstarter from our FB Page with your friends and on any groups where you think it may be of interest! (currently 69 out of 100)

Flooded Depths Unlocked
about 5 years ago
– Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 11:22:03 PM
That's another Stretch Goal unlocked, the Flooded Depths will be added to the books.
This adds 4 pages (2 per book) of 'Flooded Depths' so you can form a 24"x24" playing area to explore these damp halls and courtyards or mix them with the other designs! This also adds these pages as 4 new tiles to the Digital Dungeon.
Here's a page from this set; the 'Stepping Stones' offers a full-page courtyard with a flooded pool that can be crossed by the flagstones not yet submerged.

Again, this is a work in progress, with the rubble blocks not quite distributed how I'd like them.
And it's onto the next stretch goal! And the next design is.............
Every mad mage and evil wizard need somewhere to call home!
This stretch goal will add 2 'Wizards Tower' pages per book (4 pages in total) allowing you to create multiple spreads using both books. Although these pages feature circular designs they still line up with the other pages as well with the standard entry/exit points so can be used as circular rooms or tower levels.

First Social Goal Achieved
about 5 years ago
– Mon, Apr 22, 2019 at 01:21:54 AM
The first of our Social Goals, getting to 600 Likes on our Facebook page has been met today.
This means the adventure module in the Digital Dungeon will have its page count increased to a minimum of 12 pages.
Seems like a good time to take a closer look at the adventure module.
The Peculiar Will of Thurandius Drake
Written to accompany The Dungeon Book of Battle Mats set, this adventure module, 'The Peculiar Will of Thurandius Drake', can be played out on the books themselves or by using the digital tiles optimised for virtual tabletop applications. It will also include D&D 5E rules aimed at early tier 2 characters within the module.
"Thurandius Drake, the renowned magical artefact fabricator has passed away, leaving no heir to his fortune, instead his last will and testament states in exacting detail that the first to successfully enter his vault may lay full claim to its treasures.
Many have tried, none have succeeded..."
Working draft cover
Social Goals
Here's the current status on the social goals, each will add more content to the adventure module, and if they are all hit then we'll also produce a 'Dungeon Run' document with rules for random dungeon creation using the books or digital tiles (delivered as an additional pdf in the Digital Dungeon).
100 FB shares - Please share the link to this Kickstarter from our FB Page with your friends and on any groups where you think it may be of interest! (currently 38 out of 100)
This will help us get the word out there and help us get more stretch goals hit for the books too!

There goes another one! The Cells are Unlocked!
about 5 years ago
– Sun, Apr 21, 2019 at 02:27:04 AM
Wow, another Stretch goal is hit!
We are now adding 4 pages (2 per book) of Dingy Cells so you can form that epic 24"x24" playing area to explore these sinister cells! This also adds thes pages as 4 new tiles to the Digital Dungeon.
Of course the modular design with the standard entry/exit points mean these designs also line up with the other pages in the books so you can naviagte your way through the Dungeon however you seet fit!
Here's a page from this set, with two holding cells and a guard room. While designed as part of the dungeon, this would also work well for a town location.
The 'Guard Room' page from the Dingy Cells design set
This design set is still a work in progress, and needs a few little details added, like torches at the source of the light points etc.
And it's onto the next stretch goal! And the next design is.............
Did something just move in the water? This is one of those adventure moments when someone has to get wet but will they regret being bold? Water Breathing potions at the ready!
This stretch goal will add 2 'Flooded Depths' pages per book (4 pages in total) allowing you to create multiple 'Flooded Depths' spreads using both books. Obviously, these line up with all the other pages as well with the standard entry/exit points so how you navigate around is entirely up to you!
