Ok just finished the tiles and the first draft of the rules. Click on the following link to download them all- criticism is welcome  http://www.mediafire.com/?dm46vbio0c11tPlease make sure you are sizing the tiles and tokens to 24% so they print out accurately. For some reason resizing them during printing provided better resolution than if I resized the images beforehand and printedat 100%. |

Strange - I was able to download them easily last night. The only thing I can't tell is what, specifically, you used for the Van Helsing figure.

 hmm..does anyone know if there is a max download for the free mediafire accounts? I am new to it, but I will check it out tonight to see what I can find. The only thing I can't tell is what, specifically, you used for the Van Helsing figure.
that would be the large white "settler/surveyor" meeple from New World spin off. It was fitting since Van Helsing sort of has a tall hat. I still have a couple left in the Shoppe |

Just got done playing a game with this expansion. It was very vicious and intense, but very fun! For the most part, we all hung around zero due to the negative and positive points going back and forth- a lot of revenge playing in this one. One of us got extremely close to completing a medium sized city with Dracula, but in the end got bit with only one more tile left to go to cap it off. No one used the stakes, but partly because we had a newbie playing who always seemed to draw them and decided to place them all in a gigantic city that never was finished :  |

Love this expansion!! Great job, and the play rules also seem like very fun ideas! I do have one question before I print out a copy and begin making a set. It seems the tiles look a tad faded when I download them. Any ideas or is there any possibilty you could brighten/enhance the graphics? Thank you for another great fanspansion to add to my collection!!

Thanks! I agree they come out a bit lighter than I would like, but when I try to darken them any more ore add saturation the colors are way off...  ... Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic? The images i used were all scanned at 1200 dpi and reduced down by about 50%. I want the colors to pop without being too dark (or light). On/off subject, I have a couple edits to the rules which I won't have time to edit the file anytime soon while I'm away: - With the "bitten" tile placement, the tile can be placed in an incomplete city that contains another "bitten" city but not an incomplete city which already is occupied by Dracula at the time of placement. Merging these cities afterwards is okay
- You cannot merge two cities together that contain Dracula, a vampire, and/or a monk occupying a cloister.

I just tried playing around a little bit, and the second trick I tried seems to work well. Brightness -50% Contrast +100% I'm uploading the photos now, will edit this with link once finished.

Well done GAK! They look great on the screen, how about printed? I have been using a laser print with 3M label paper, but I noticed it feels "powdery" when the image is too light.

I haven't gotten around to printing them yet (mostly cuz my printer's out of ink). I suppose I could take the files in to work and print them there...

I will try to print tonight on my laser printer if I get time to test. |
