Hi Everyone!

This is the Free Sample of Part 2 of Build-A-'Bastion'. Build-A-Bastion is a set of modular tiles and parts you (or your players) can use to quickly build a Player Base or stronghold, and adjust or expand it over time!

Part 2 includes Special Facilities such as a Study, Barracks, Armory, Stable, War Room, Guildhall, Trophy Room, Laboratory, Garden, Sanctuary, Theater and much more to allow you to really customise your Bastions for different needs, and Defensive Walls to protect your Bastion from outside forces.

Part 1 is available HERE, and includes a variety of Basic Facilities, such as Bedrooms, Dining Rooms, Kitchens, Parlors, Courtyards, Storage Rooms, and Washrooms, as well as modular add-on parts like Doors, Windows, Corridors, Fireplaces, Stairs and Closets.

If these sets are popular we may create more themed sets in the future! Let me know what you would like to see.

These tiles are designed to work with the new 'Bastion' rules in the Dungeons & Dragons 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide that releases today, however you do not need to use those rules in any way to make use of the tile set.

How to Build Your Own Bastion With These Tiles

These tile sets have been designed to allow you to very quickly and easily put together a Bastion map in 3 steps:

Step 1: Arrange your Room Tiles

Step 2: Connect Rooms with Corridors where needed

Step 3: Add in 'Parts' such as Doors, Windows, Fireplaces and Closets

Rooms can be swapped out or added in, so your Bastion can grow and change over time as your Party's renown (and bank account) increases.

The tiles are all designed to easily snap together on a grid, so will work perfectly with any VTT or Image Editor that allows some version of Grid Snapping. Just make sure to set your grids to 1 inch, and if necessary set your DPI/PPI to 300 for the 'Print' versions or 140 for the 'VTT' versions.

The intended size in inches/grid squares of each tile is denoted at the end of the file name.
eg 'TC_Bastion Basic_Bedroom Roomy 03_Wood_5x4' is 5 inches/grid squares wide and 4 inches/grid squares high.

D&D DMG 2024 Bastion Ruleset

These tiles can be used with the new Bastion ruleset included in the 2024 Dungeon Masters Guide that released today. The only way to see the full ruleset is to buy the DMG, either physically or digitally.

However if you want to check out the Bastion rules before/without getting the new DMG, you can see the public Unearthed Arcana version of the rules HERE and watch this video by Nerd Immersion that explains in detail the differences between the UA version of the rules and the final published version (TLDR, its not that different)
