Looks very cool! How did you make the rugs and sheets for the bed? I'm quite curious about that.

Very nice work! I especially like all the accessories you've added to the tile. Lucky players.

Thanks moorecowbell138 and bloodchoke!
The long carpet is a piece of cardstock, cut to size and then painted. Same with the ones under the bed and couch. The rolled one is a piece of regular white printer paper cut to size, painted, rolled from one corner and then glued onto a cardstock mini tile with the summoning circle painted onto it to give the look of a partially hidden summoning circle ( Those darn devil dealing Chelaxians!).
The bed spread (and sheet) piece was also pretty easily done. I took a "fancy paper napkin, cut it to size, soaked it in a mix of "Elmers" white glue and water. I then squeezed out the excess and arranged it to look like a tussled blanket and let it dry completely. I then painted it up. Pretty simple.
Hope that sheds some light on how those parts were done. I am still working on some parts for it: a mirror, a dresser, secret door panels, books for the book cases, a "pleasure/pain" wall rack (this particular Chelaxian ambassador is a bit of an interesting lady, to say the least, lol) I'll post up pics when I finish.

Your tiles look great. I see a few DMG chests and doors! Great stuff... glad it comes in handy. I also see you have done some of your own style shelves and alternate doors as well. EXCELLENT. And the best part... you get to use them again and again... making the time and effort well worth it.

Tiles look great. I really like the numerous DMG inspired furnishings. The dock is also very cool and I like how you used the blue cloth for water...nice!

Tiles look great. I really like the numerous DMG inspired furnishings. The dock is also very cool and I like how you used the blue cloth for water...nice! Thanks! When I had it set up for gameplay I elevated the warehouse and the docks so they were about 10 'in-game feet' above the water. And thank you all for the kind words... Here's a little synopsis of the warehouse part: In the adventure, the party is sent by a Scarzni (think Mafia) to retrieve a crate from this old, dilapidated warehouse full of confiscated goods. When they arrived, the more law abiding characters decided to wait outside on the dock. The rest of the group entered and had to face off with some critters. Afterward, the members inside started searching the crates. The elf ranger allowed himself to become distracted (failed his perception check) and missed noticing that the floor, all around the plank on which the chest they were looking for was precariously perched, was rotted out. He fell through the floor and into the chilly water below. Hearing the splash, the characters that had waited outside commandeered the boat and rowed it under the warehouse to rescue the soaked elf ranger. There they cleverly decided to have the group above knock the chest down to them below. Luckily the combined might and skills of the human barbarian and dwarven cleric managed to catch the falling chest after the elven evoker used his force missiles to destroy the plank it sat on. All in all the group did well working together, playing to their strengths and most importantly having fun.
Tonight I get to run them through the rest of the adventure, where they match wits with a drunken, crazy and exploitive cat hoarder, a puzzling test from an Osirion ambassador, and a confrontation with a rival group. Should be fun, even though I'm gonna most likely have to be using a gridded city street flip map for one of the encounters. I was wanted to create some housing exteriors to represent a back alley but I sadly wasn't able to get started on them.... Edit: Ohh....just had an idea... I do have some sewer tiles finished that I can use. Just gonna have to do some tweaks to the written adventure and utilize those. *rubs hands together menacingly*

Drunken, crazy, exploitative cat hoarder... sounds very familiar for some reason...

My group surprised me once again. Even being down two players ( I normally have 7) they did very well... They handled the "drunken crazy cat lady" through some very excellent roleplay and skill checks which was seriously impressive to witness. Their roleplay skills are starting to blossom quite well. They then moved on to the puzzle portion of the adventure where their ability to think outside the box was once again awesome to witness. There was only one small bit of combat the entire night, and I didn't have a single player lose any interest. It was ....*falsetto*.... Awe--some!!!
Unfortunately we now have a two week downtime due to some schedule conflicts, but it does give me some time to paint up the monster minis I ordered and get a few more tiles done. Can't wait to get back to the action as they left off chasing a possibly thief down into the sewers under Absalom.
Just as a bit of background, my group currently consists of Franken Furhter the dwarven cleric, Grolsch the human barbarian, Rythian the elven ranger, LiSin the halfling monk, Zendrel the elven wizard, Caelynn the gnome oracle and her snow leopard Morganna (she is deaf and relies on her cat for perception-- one of the coolest concepts I have seen played), and Mhaeryska the tiefling rogue sorceress. They are quite the fun group and I can't wait to see where their adventures take them.
