Hello all,

I have recently found a bag with bits of cardstock pieces, some large, some small.

The backs of the sheets: No names or anything,  just a cream hue to them all, both the sheets and those cut up.

The front of the sheets and pieces: Some whole sheets have granite stone effect tiles, while others are more of an earthy gold hue. One sheet has a wood plank floor look to it.

There are shaky looking bridge cards, that look as though they would go over a ravine. There are some tiles cut up with square doors and some with round doors, all looking as though they open dungeons. There are piles of stones on some tiles. There are wheels/spiral staircases. And a sheet with, for example: fire, chairs, chests, a knight, splatters of green and red, a bed and so on...

There are many of these in a bag, with no sign of what they came with.

Could someone give me some idea of where I might look for these? Are they even worth spending the time researching them?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Mary

Visual aids make things visual. Please provide pictures.

What he said... +1

There are MANY more of those tiles sets than I could name, and many publishers had different tile sets to be used for various purposes.
Each set had different colors/designs/etc. for the tiles that you could cut out and fit within your game.

There are now probably a gazillion differrent Big publishers and even more Web Publishers that sell PDFs and hard copies of tile sets at many levels of pricing from a few bucks to a fortune (IMO) for some that are apparently rare.

Yes, pics would be helpful. Until then, here's a couple of ideas:

Could be AC3 and/or AC8?

http://www.trollandtoad.com/p133083.html

Or the AD&D Castles set?

I want to say AC3, but the spiral stairs are throwing me off...

Definately not AC5,


And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

My gut says Games Workshop.



One idea - find a piece that looks like a full sheet and get an exact measurement on that.  Determining if it's letter size or A4 should at least narrow which side of the ocean we're looking at.



UPDATE



Yeah, that's it:  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0192440673



Possibly a mish mash from various GW sets.  Without the box and all I wouldn't expect it to be worth a whole lot, but I don't collect them, so that's just a guess.


Areas of interest/knowledge: Harn, WFRP, Ars Magica, anything BRP based such as CoC, Runequest, Pendragon and all their related games

I added one more picture.

Unfortunately, am not home right now but at my local library, but will do a measurement this evening.

Thanks for the help.  :)

I'd go with GW as well. It has their 'look' about it.

Looks like some may be by Standard Games. I had a couple sets made by them and some of it looks like what I use to have.

I had some Games Workshop tiles pass through my hands a few months back. A good many of those resemble what I had to a T. I'm in the GW boat.

At least part of them are from the GW "Caverns" set and "Dungeon" set. Those two just happened to be sitting on my desk.

Yeah, I've got the GW Caverns set, and it has a similar look to it.

Very definite "feel" to them -- they look a lot like some of the ones in Dungeonquest (another GW product), though, not exactly the same. I'd say they're GW items.

Sorry that I did not come back with a measurement yesterday, but here it is now. Ten and a half inches in length by seven in width. There are five cards that size.
