How wide are the standard corridor tiles in Scotty's dungeons? I started with one 4" wide but it seems his are more narrow. Thanks, Algar

Most my hallways are around 2", with i think is the norm. Anyway, this forum is closing soon, so you should head on over to the new one: dmscraft.proboards.com/

Also, 4" hallways are fine, too. I would just make more around 2" as you'll probably use them more. But you're the architect, you can use whatever size you like.

If your ground scale is 1" = 5 feet, then corridors can be 1" - 4" wide, which translates into 5 feet wide, to 20 feet wide. Depending on your dungeon, you may need hallways even wider: 30 feet (6"), or 40 feet (8"), or... Pick your ground scale, then calculate how many inches it should be.
If you are using a commercially produced dungeon module, check the map's scale, and calculate the figure size needed. Be sure to do this well in advance! I plan on running a skirmish miniatures game based on the classic AD&D Giant series of modules, and when I looked at the dungeon maps, I was shocked at how big they really are! (None of the dungeons would fit on my 9' x 5' Ping Pong Table... They are all much larger than that, in a 1" = 5 feet ground scale.) My project requires some serious planning to pull it off the way I want. YMMV. Cheers!

If you're making tiles that are of the scale of 1 inch= 5 feet, you're probably going to want to add a half inch more to the width of the tiles than you want the width to be as your wall pieces are likely to be about 1/4 inch in width. That will keep your tile width the correct size between the "walls"... Look forward to seeing pics of your work over on the new forums
