i'm creating my encounter map with dungeon tiles (i know, i know) for an upcoming DnD game in a couple of weeks. i'm wanting to have a "pile of skulls" represented on the map...4 piles to be exact. i'd be fine with just a tile representation, but i'm open for suggestions on how to make a true 3d version.

not sure where to start on this....thoughts?

Just looking through Skull Cove right now and the ground-sand tile has a skull on the first page toward the bottom and ground-shore tile has a skull on the third page near the wooden plank. Might be others, there's a lot of files to look through.

As far as Gothic Realms, there are skulls on the walls, will take a little work to be able to use them for ground placement. There's also a skeleton on one of the floor tiles, skeletonfloor to be exact!

There's also the crypt wall in the props section of Gothic Realms.

Not sure what other sets have skeletons, but there should be some others.

okay so i found a decent tiled jpeg of some skulls. i took that, pasted it into Word (fancy right? ) and then just copied/pasted over and over until i basically had one piece of paper filled with skulls. i crumpled up a 1/4 piece of blank paper into a mound and taped it together. then i cut out a section of the skull tiles and then taped it all up over the paper mound.

and now i have 4 piles of skulls! its not as authentic and 3d as i would like, but it works. thanks for the tips guys.

You should make your players build some of the terrain, if they have such high quality standards!
