Description:

What do u get?

* a 7" x 10" page of desert details:  draconic bones (featured on the cover), a fort, palm trees, rock outcroppings, a pool of silt, worn stairs, two lungfish, a multi-armed statue, a fire pit, a skeleton with sword and shield, a beautiful oasis pool, a pair of obelisks, flowers, cacti, a pile of skulls, blood splatters, a pair of merchant's wagons, and a buried treasure chest!

* a 7" x 10" blank desert sheet with a "hidden" grid (the natural features such as rocks and bones suggest the one inch grid and work in a very subtle fashion)

* a sheet of bonus tiles compiled from changes to the main detail sheet (alternate colored items, tiles combined for greater variety and greater fun!)

All three pages come with a one inch grid overlay and non-grid versions.  All items are detailed with adventure ideas.  Vexing Sands comes with seven scenarios which help a GM base adventures around these full-color tiles. 

These tiles are system-neutral and perfect for any fantasy, old west (with a supernatural theme), or even modern horror rpg.

For the price, I thought this was a nice value. Now, I am a propo whore, and I love extra floorplans, so I am a bit biased. And I also like Billiam Babble's artwork and floorplans with Inked Adventures, so bear in mind that this style fits my own prefe [...]

I was the artist on this product, so my bias will be clear *grin* but I strongly believe we need to average out the rating on this product, because for starters, it's superb value for money. I believe people forget that when they look at 16 pages of p [...]

Format
Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
