Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

Very nice. I don't have the game however these might be useful for other space dungeon crawlers (Doom, etc.). Thanks!

Love it! Are these custom or did the original game have these types of tiles? I only remember the large plastic map. This could be used for Doom or even a Castle Ravenloft mod for Aliens.

These are custom made by me...

I was always a fan of modular boards...

Wonderful!
If i may ask..... is it possible to have them with the numbers on a separate, optionally shown layer? They're so good that i'd like to use them for other games....

Great job, anyway.

Excellent stuff! As a fellow fan of modular boards, I commend you!

I've always thought they add to replayability (and replace bean counting of stats with fun)

I was actually wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the source files? I'd love to tweak them into 4x4 boards and make a CR version of Aliens

CR = Dungeons & Dragons: Castle Ravenloft Board Game

While I think Ravenloft is subpar, I think the mechanics of the system would work well in the Aliens world...

I have a scan of the tiles, and a mask of the shapes, if you want to GM me an email address I can send it to you.

This is stunning work.

Have you considered remaking the Reactor Room scenario in this style? I'm remaking the original game in 25mm and trying to find a suitable board to print out.

These look really nice and I can appreciate the time involved in creating them. However I have a few questions.

1) There is an entry point (on the first tile) on top of what appears to be a piece of machinery. Does this slow down alien movemnt and can marines walk on it?

2) there are numerous spaces that the squares are half empty and half full of alien encrustation. Are these meant to be entered or are they not playable squares.

3) There are entry ways blocked by what appears to be maybe safety tape. I assume this is passable as one tile has every entry way blocked by this. What exactly does it represent?

Thanks

I also second the comments by one of the earlier posters. It would be cool if you did a modular version of the original map. It would give those who don't have the game a cheap version and it could be mounted on board to give it durability. Also since it's a bunch of tiles you wouldn't have to fold it so there is less chance of damaging the map unlike my original copy which has seen better days.
