Carcassonne Tile Designs (without All Those Nasty Expansion Features!)

Sounds good. A V would be just fine, although if you can find a V that is somewhat in the Carc font style, that would be most awesome.

You mean like this?

Have a look HERE  ....might take some digging, but the fonts are free 

[Gantry]

On that page you can type in a short sample bit of text, or perhaps a letter or two, pick the size and it will output a sample in that font.  You could always do that and "freehand" a likeness of the image.  Perhaps not entirely legal but I know of a website or two that has used it that way...

OK, I'll do that.  I'm more concerned with how the tiles are supposed to look.  Whaley, you'll have to be queued behind Dragon's Lair for the time being.  11 more tiles left there, then the rules, before I can get back to this.  I hope you don't mind the wait.

That's fine. After Matt's new cover, I am going back to mostly thesis work for a few days. Not very excited about it, but my research on William III is getting behind schedule and I am having problems with primary sources. Oh the fun of research...

Wow, you're writing about the guy who deposed the king of another country and ruled with his wife?  And how he was childless and the throne passed on to his childless sister-in-law?  Perhaps you could go find stuff from his cousins, a few times removed?  There are still plenty of those around in a number of European countries

Back to the topic:

6. CRRF with small city and both roads merging then going into the city; no road junction, both cities go into city; should be 3 fields.

I went huh at the section I bolded.  Do you mean roads instead of cities there?

LOL! Yes, roads...I mean roads. Obviously I have to stop staying up so late while writing posts.

I was just going through the list again (I'm making physical tiles this weekend), and I realised that Cleric and Serf has a number of Vanilla tiles as well.  Have a look in there and let me know if there's any changes.

So it does, but I downloaded and looked through those tiles and couldn't find any that seemed the same as the ones I am requesting. I will have to mark off a few of them, though, from my future tiles list. We really need to extract all of these various tiles from the many expansions we've made and make them into one 60-72ish set of expansion-less feature tiles. I think that would be popular. The tiles you are making now would obviously help build that collection up some.

Let's see, there's

All 3 mathguy expansions (36 tiles), Perky Dragons (12 tiles), Winter and Thanksgiving 2008 (24 tiles), the 2 wells expansions (24 tiles) and Cleric & Serf (10 tiles).  All those are pretty much standalones.  That's 106 tiles.

Then there are 2 tiles in Family Feud and 5 in Treasure Hunt, from what I remember.

There's probably already 60-72ish tiles there already for your choosing.  Perhaps a "Vanilla Big Box" might be in order...

Perhaps. With my proposed 12 tiles, we will have 125 tiles total to choose from. Winter and Thanksgiving I like, but the different seasons aspects distract me, although if those were removed, some of those tiles have new features on them. My list still has a bunch of tiles not yet created, but I have confused myself since tiles are suppose to be read clock-wise, yet I wrote all my descriptions counter-clockwise (stupid, stupid, stupid!). Regardless, I can keep proposing those as I have the time. An expansion of 72 tiles would be fun, although I think I would prefer to call it Carcassonne: The Sequel since it is like the original game, with just more of the same (and hypothetically playable by itself).

Doesn't Perky Dragon have symbols on the tiles?

You'll have to check.  I think some of them don't.

If you consider an Inn a symbol, then there are only two with none, one being a river tile.  If not, than six.

[Novelty]

I'm gonna call this done   You can download the tiles from the Public Downloads.

Nice one Novelty and 'Whaleylan' (you might want to fix that Novelty)

lol, indeed. Thanks for getting this out. Sorry I couldn't get back to you but I've been busy lately with random variousnesses, mostly a new class I'm taking (Oceanography). You're expansion is perfect, though, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Vanilla II sometime in the future. Maybe even a Vanilla III. I'll have to update my Carcassonne list as soon as I can, and of course print these out. Thanks!
