If you're a tabletop gamer, you know the struggle: setting up the perfect map for your next encounter takes time, effort, and too often, results in a chaotic mess of paper sheets or slippery plastic grids. That’s why Realm Brew magnetic map tiles are a game-changer—literally. Now live on Kickstarter, this clever modular system lets you build, rearrange, and transport custom battlemaps in seconds. And it works with any fantasy TTRPG.
Whether you’re running Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or your own homebrew world, these magnetic tiles are designed to bring your imagination to life—without slowing down your session.

A System Designed by Gamemasters for Gamemasters
Realm Brew’s creators are passionate tabletop players who wanted a better solution for in-person games. Traditional foldout maps and dry-erase grids are functional but lack flexibility. 3D terrain looks great but is costly and time-consuming to set up. So they asked: what if there was a middle ground? Something affordable, fast, modular, and immersive?
The result is a sleek and satisfying system of magnetic, dry-erase tiles with hand-drawn art and a sturdy feel. Setup becomes a tactile joy. Players love seeing the map grow tile by tile as the party explores. And GMs can keep things hidden until the right dramatic moment.
Built for Speed, Versatility, and Storytelling
Instant Setup, Endless Combinations
Each Realm Brew tile is a 5x5-inch square with embedded magnets that snap together instantly. Want to build a winding dungeon corridor, a crumbling bridge, or a sprawling village? Just click the tiles into place—no tape, no slipping, no guesswork. The tiles are double-sided, giving you twice the map area in the same compact stack. You can flip from forest to caverns in seconds and rebuild entire environments mid-session without breaking flow.
Dry-Erase and Customizable
The tiles feature a faint 1-inch grid that blends with the background art while keeping scale precise. They're fully dry-erase compatible, allowing you to sketch anything—magical effects, secret doors, sudden explosions—and wipe it off instantly. The interactivity makes each game session feel more dynamic and responsive, as if the map itself evolves with your story.
Stunning Artwork That Enhances the Game
Beautiful and Functional
Each tile is designed with rich, hand-drawn fantasy artwork. From cracked stone floors to mossy forest trails, the visuals invite interaction. The textures aren’t just decoration—they spark ideas, hint at traps, or suggest hidden secrets. Even the shadow of a tree or a worn patch of floor might suggest danger or treasure.
Despite the detail, the designs maintain strong contrast, ensuring your miniatures remain visible and readable at all times. That means you can enjoy the artwork without compromising clarity during combat or exploration.
Fantasy-Themed Sets
The campaign launches with core fantasy environments like ruins, dungeons, forests, marshes, crypts, and bridges. Each theme is crafted to integrate smoothly with the others. Stretch goals promise even more, including snowy tundras, lava caves, and interior locations. The entire collection is being built with long-term usability in mind, so you can mix and match to create endless new worlds.

Portable and Durable
The tiles come in a compact, magnetic box that keeps them secure and organized. Whether you're gaming at home or on the go, it’s easy to bring an entire battlefield in one hand. The materials are scuff-resistant, water-resistant, and made to last through hundreds of sessions. They're not delicate props—they're durable tools meant for heavy use.
Designed for Reveal Moments
Realm Brew’s system shines during dramatic reveals. Want to keep a boss chamber hidden? Slip it into place at the perfect moment. Need to unveil a new cave entrance mid-battle? It’s easy. The magnetic system gives GMs full control over pacing without fumbling for pieces or stalling the session. It brings cinematic timing into your hands.

With multiple successful crowdfunding campaigns under their belt, they’ve learned how to balance creative ambition with production reality. Their approach is practical, transparent, and tailored for the tabletop community.
