What to do next?
Pictured above are a few sketches of some of the things I think I'll be working on next (for the print & paste terrain).
The first idea is a bit hard to explain - but imagine 2 room tiles placed next to each other - so between them there would be a 1" wide (2.5D) separating wall (i.e. the usual half inch around the perimeter of each tile). This would be a method of joining those rooms together by placing decorative (cathedral-like) archways over the wall itself (does that make sense?).
The second pic shows how I could do something similar to the recent 'flame trap' to make light-up braziers as well. I've already done something similar with my pizza-box-dungeon - so it should work nicely.
The third thing is a simple puzzle handout - so we'd print the four circles out on card and pin them together with one of those 'brads' (I think that's what they're called). This would allow the players to spin the circles around to form whatever word solves the particular puzzle. I'd also try and make it so that it can produce as many words as possible - just so that it could be reused a couple of times.
So that's what I 'think' I'll be working on next ...but is there anything you'd like me to tackle first (I'm probably leaning towards the first pic at the moment ...but I haven't made any prototypes yet - so it might not even work :S).
Furthermore, I'm going to try and squeeze in a couple more (VTT) dungeon tiles if I can ...so if you have any suggestions for some of those, feel free to post them too.
Anyway, before I head off I just want to say thank you very much for your continued support (it really does mean a lot to me). Cheers!

On the subject of VTT tiles, another transition piece or two from outdoors to inside could be handy. A dormitory - a number of small 2-person rooms around a common area.
I have often spent time trying to figure out a way for a doorway to sit on top of or bridge two walls so that having rooms with doorways at JUST the right spot was not that big an issue. I will be very interested to see what you come up with for the archway. The only thing I came up with was to cut all the walls off and use the tiles like the Sci-Fi tiles and not have walls but just occasional pieces like monitors or windows to simulate a wall being there.
Howdy boss man. First off your sketches are remarkable. I can't believe how good even your concepts look! Anyway my vote is for the puzzle. Looks fun.
They all sound great. I’m currently devising a similar puzzle (for VTT) myself, but using runes from different languages that different party members understand. That way they’re going to have to work together to solve it with their own individual cyphers.
