Egyptian Map Tiles

Breath live into your desert worlds with this Egyptian-themed Map Tiles collection of adventure map-building art assets. Create structures of sandstone blocks decorated with hieroglyph markings and a complementary set of wooden flooring art assets for those upper levels.

What is a Map Tile?

A map tile is an art asset that depicts a 5ft square area of terrain from an overhead view. This means each map tile art asset can be employed to create roleplaying adventure maps for game systems such as Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Gurps, or any roleplaying system that uses a 5ft square map grid for adventure maps.

Each map tile is a combination of photographic source material and hand drawn artwork, resulting in a unique look and feel for our art assets. Each asset is rendered to a 3:1 scale, that being 3 on screen pixels to each real world inch. This gives us a map grid square of 180 pixels. This results in adventure maps that have a good level of detail, while not being too pixel heavy as to lag older computers or users with slow connection speeds.

The 3:1 scale is also employed in the creation of our virtual table top tokens, meaning the character tokens fit perfectly to the scale of our adventure maps created with our range of map tiles. Thus you can use one of our Props and Objects Token packs as art assets to populate your Egyptian Dungeon maps with furniture.
