Need a quick town map for an impromptu encounter? Or maybe your PCs need a home base.  Build Your Own Towns & Villages map set may be just what you need! This do-it-yourself set features a seamless 30 by 30 unit grass map, roads and dirt pieces, 24 unique building designs (with various rotations for realistic shadows) and tons of stuff to bring your town to life -- trees, rocks, stairs, awnings, wells, a town fountain, and much more! There is also a Quick Play village map made using the items in this set. This set contains 466 items !!!

Neat set. I like the look of the flags, liked where you included a ReadMe instruction sheet, and a pre-made village map (30x30 like the grass?). For those who are careful to build maps with consistent shadows, the variable pieces are smart indeed.  I have questions about the procedure for finding pieces by their orientation, filenames, and to be able to plan to select the proper piece for shadows and such. If I purchase the set, and then able to read the ReadMe at full size, will it give me instructions for this kind of inquiry?

I can't wait to rotate the smoke for the chimneys at various angles all on the same map!  This is lovely I love the variations in roofs you've included.

The pre-made village is 30x30 and should say so in the file name.  As for finding pieces, I've grouped them together as best I could. The various rotations for each piece do correspond to a letter of the alphabet after the item name "buidling_1a_ ... " is gonna have the same rotation as "building_2a ..." etc. There may be a few mistakes in this regards, but that's what happens with a set that has 466 items. :)  This info is not in the ReadMe file as I figured the visual thumbnail in the library should do the trick. Thanks again.

Holy bejebus. Thank you. This is amazing. Also, AMAZING! My only gripe was I wish the buildings came with pre-furnished insides and what not etc.
