DriveThruRPG-Only Bonus: The Metr-o-Matic pack includes our Modern Buildings pack for free, so you can start building captivating cities without needing anything else.

Modern gamers, we heard you!  The Workshop is coming full steam to non-fantasy settings with tilesets perfect for d20Modern, Shadowrun, and World of Darkness.  Metr-o-matic City Tiles 1 takes the headache out of building the bones of a realistic town or city, while maintaining accurate scale for outdoor encounters.  We’re pretty stoked about that part, because our in-house storyteller is always going on about how difficult it is to make maps that keep player movement consistent, convey the size of the environments he creates, and transition between indoors and outdoors smoothly.  

This pack focuses primarily on tiles which will give your players that sense of “Oh, this is actually a real place that occupies a sizable chunk of land” as well as providing a framework for creating compelling environments which match the calibre of the stories you craft.  Everything that's included also integrates seamlessly with our Dystopi-o-Matic sets.

(Both sets total out to 172 unique tiles and 3 premade maps.)

How to Use These Tiles

After purchase, you'll get two .zip files with all 175(!) individual pieces and premade maps, which are yours to mash together in your characters' travels as you see fit.  The individual tiles are made to be easily drag-and-dropped together in your preferred graphics software (photoshop, gimp, etc), and then saved out as a single image for the virtual tabletop, or you can upload the contents of the zips to Roll20 and build your dungeons there.  Bonus feature for Roll20: The "Your Library" section of the DM tools can be unorganized at times, each filename contains the specific dimensions of each tile needed to maintain seamless integration and reduce headaches.  Every file has unique tags built in to their names, so you can use built-in search features to find the right piece for the right spot.
