What are 5150 City Tiles?
It’s a set of 9 double-sided cardboard tiles that has 72
buildings and over 200 potential NPC interactions for your New Beginnings, Urban Renewal,
or Fringe Space games.
Why Use 5150 City Tiles?
When adventuring in New Hope City the locales can change
pretty quickly. Using the tiles allows for you to move about the city without
having to set up terrain for each game. This lets you spend more time gaming and
less time setting up terrain.

The tiles don't represent all of the buildings on the city
block, but instead represent 4 buildings where you can have contact with Non-Players Characters run by the game mechanics.
|
You can choose to lay the tiles out in any way you desire.
In this case we’ve set it up to represent a waterfront.
Laying out the tiles provides you with Streets (dark gray
area), Intersections (the spot where the tiles come together), Buildings
(building pictures), and Alleys (the light gray area between the four
buildings). If desired, when you enter the Alley, roll 1d6. On a score of “1” you’ve
run into a dead end!
To track where you are on the tile be sure to place your
figure, coin, counter or whatever you want to use on the spot.

ReplyDeleteHorse crap! This comment came up as a double post and i deleted the duplictae and it erased both. The question was
DeleteHow big are the tiles?
6" squares.
They look very useful Ed!
DeleteJJ
They work well for playing in small spaces without having to set up terrain. I'll show you what I mean in the next post.
DeleteSorry, Ed, don't know how that double posted. These look pretty cool, and 6" is a nice small size.
DeleteIn older pictures of these tiles each street edge is sub divided into 3 sections. Looks like you removed that?
ReplyDeleteWhere are the pictures of that? I may have had them like that before, decided to take another direction.
DeleteFrom this post.

I have a system involving the 3x3 grid and counters. This will remove most of the counters which is cool. If this is popular I would love to see the idea expanded to include tiles for Savvy and Steel (including canals) and historically older buildings and terrain features (hills, forests).
I very much appreciate the focus on limited table space.
Those are the same tiles except the arrows were removed. The streets run as far as you choose to make them, from tile to tile.
DeleteThere are other things in the work including one for Savvy & Steel.
DeleteGood news!
