I think Novelty's inclusion of the icon with some of those just means that it is possible to just use two of those tiles and have it still work just fine.

Though I don't want to flood the downloads page, should there be icons for official expansions a fan made may add to and/or require?
The icons will probably be too small to make sense.  However, it would be good infomation to be included - and the best way to do that would be as text.  If someone could make me a list, I'll insert the text ASAP.

Although, I was thinking that there should be an icon for expansions that use extra meeple.
Done.  Meepleater, I would appreciate it if you could tell me which of your expansions require the new icon.  Gwommy has also made an Oceans icon, but since that is currently within its own category, I figured we don't need it yet unless someone else develops a non-Oceans expansion with Oceans tiles.

I think Novelty's inclusion of the icon with some of those just means that it is possible to just use two of those tiles and have it still work just fine.
It says so in the index near the top:
indicates that the fan-made expansion can be played with only 2 new tiles.

This looks great.  One small note on the Ocean, the main expansion should have the meeple symbol as well.  Also the Buried Treasure expansion will have one too, which brings up another question: What about an icon for special tiles or pieces that grant abilities or perform special actions but never are put into play?  I've noticed a lot of people are coming up with all kinds of ideas like spinners, large tiles, treasure maps, etc.  Maybe there could be an icon for "specialty items/features" that would basically show the ones browsing the page that this expansion will require some unconventional crafting?

These are the fan mades requiring, or designed to be played with, specific official expansions I’ve noted thus far from the single expansions and those requiring meeples.  I don’t really know the various “series” so I don’t know what they need.  Except Dragon’s Lair which I picked out from the description that it adds dragon icons.

Traders and Builders
-Cocoa Traders

The Tower
-Black Tower

Princess and the Dragon
-The Arbitress
-Dragon’s Lair
-Outposts
-Dragon Hunters
-Duel Dragons

Abbey and Mayor
-The Musketeer

The Catapult
-Jester and Minstrel

The Cathars
-Invasion of Catharism

The series aren't really designed to be played with anything else except the first title in the series.  A lot of the descriptions does already have the infomation regarding which official expansion is required.
