Map Packs for Maptool!

[Steel General]

I created some large sewer tiles for one of the monthly challenges, you're welcome to include them if you want. Here's the link.

Let me know if they will work and I will create the 'License' file. If not, no biggie.

Very awesome sewer, Steel General, and stuff like this is perfect for a VT. I have not tested them yet in MT so sometime over the weekend, I will download them and give them a test run. If they connect well and work good, we (RPTools team) would be honored to add them to our list.

Thank you very much!

I just tested them Steel General and they would be a nice addition to Maptool!

OK, next step is to do the following:

1. Tell me what the name of the pack will be. I would probably suggest "Steel General's Sewer Tiles" or something similar. The key is to state who made it and what it is.

2. Create the license text file. Torstan (Jon) made a nice generic one that you can use or use as a general template. It is as follows:

These tiles and images were created by Steel General for release with the stable version of maptool 1.3. They are licensed for re-use and distribution under the Creative Commons share-alike, non-commercial, attribution license:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

(note: you can also plug a website in this license file)

3. If you want to plug a website, you can also create a 640x480 flier plugging the site or whatever. This I will put in the root of the art pack so that users know where to go to find more of your work.

Thanks again!

If your after tiles and you dont mind putting in the effort to package them up, then I made these:

http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/Temp/CG/Ge...es/Cobbles.zip

and also Dungeon, Hatching, Marsh, MtnPath, Snow, WoodPath and WoodStream zips. Its about 150Mb tho but these are all CC. Call them Redrobes Geomorphic Cobbles etc and you can plug www.viewingdale.com if you like. There's about 160 tiles in the set.

You can see the pics from the challenge thread:

Thanks Redrobes, I will have to take a look at these tomorrow and get back with you.

FYI: We are not just looking for tiles - we can surely benefit from any maps or objects, especially those that are made here! Your community rocks!

What might also be a good idea is for the CG team to put together a pack of favorite maps and in return, we can plug this site! Win Win!

They can be anything - overland maps, encounter maps, generic maps, whatever you can envision would be useful for GM's when running a game.

Theres the choice maps and the finished maps but you will have to check the licensing of each in turn to see if they are CC or whether the creator would relicense them.

I really don't want to just snag stuff off the site. I figured I would see if any of your community would offer stuff and we take it from there. I would rather the user be part of the experience; part of the love.

It would feel wrong to me if I just grabbed stuff.

So with that said, if any of you want to be part of the excitement, let me know!
