Chandigar first introduced us to his tileset talents in July of 2004 with the advent of his Aztec Exterior work. Chandigar is a member of the Maztica Project Team. You can download Aztec Exterior FINAL v1.1 on the Vault.

Bring the world of 15th Century Central America or the mysterious lands of Maztica to life with this new hak pak featuring over 95% new models and textures. Recreate the celebrations of conquest as hundreds of captured slaves had their hearts ripped out atop the Templo Mayor! Enact the fall of Tenochitlan by the conquistadors and their tribal allies! Cower in fear as Ahoutl the farmer grows melons on his chinampas!

In September of 2004 Chandigar brought us a real treat with his own creation of the Raven Loft Core: Gothic Gardens which later became the RLcore Gothic Estates v1.31. Chandigar's description on the Vault;

Features: The wind whistles through the trees as the aging manor creaks and groans. A single flickering light appears in the the upper window, winking in and out as the holder walks from room to room. A howl hoots somewhere in the distance, a single plaintive cry that suddenly cuts short as the stench or rotting flesh drifts in from the woods. Containing all the tiles from the RLcore Gothic Garden tileset, this expansion adds 100% custom mansions, forests, roads and many other features as well as one sample map.

The real surprise came this past Feburary when he released a matching interior tileset to go with his Raven Loft setting the RLCore Gothic Interiors 1.11

Features: The boards creak as you enter the manor. A fireplace flickers in the hearth yet not a single soul can be seen. A strange throbbing seems to come from deep within the bowels of the sprawling estate while the branches of the ancient sycamores scrape against the rusty shutters. The dark shadows of the hallway seem to lighten, an approaching candle bringing your host... This tileset expands the content of the RLCore Gothic Gardens and Estates tilesets with hundreds of new tiles and placeables for the Gothic Interiors. WARNING, the sample map is very CONTENT HEAVY.

I recently ran a module in a six part series Click Here. which featured both gothic tilesets combined(Small additional hak required for proper door usage). I will be using those tiles again in chapter 4 when the PCs return to England and assemble the components for . . . . I can't tell you that, it might spoil the plot for chapter 3.

In any case, I also ran a single module late last year using the Aztec Exterior Tileset. Standing way up on top of the temple pyramid and looking out over the city could give you a "dizzy" feeling especially if you are using a large monitor for gameplay and expand the fog limit. The attention to detail is what I liked most about each of these tilesets.

If I had to pick one thing I liked about each:

The Aztec tilesets colors. There is nothing bland or dull about anything created in there.

The Gothic Exterior tilesets. Selectable wrap around porches for each of the four different houses.

The Gothic Interior tilesets ceiling. How many interior tilesets include a ceiling?

There's plenty more I could name about what I liked in each. There is some great work done for these.

Woo.. wow, now I'm embarassed. Thanks Christopher!

If anyone has some completed modules using these, I'd LOVE to see em. The group I built the RLCore stuff for kinda died
