Realm Brew: Magnetic Map Tiles for D&D — Build Your World in Seconds
- $139
- Board Games Games
Let’s be honest — drawing D&D maps is either a chore or a compromise. You either print low-res grids, hand-doodle on erasable mats, or shell out for static tiles that never quite fit your story.
Realm Brew changes that. This Kickstarter campaign brings a modular magnetic tile system to your tabletop RPG, letting you build dynamic, immersive maps in seconds — no printing, no prep, no stress. Just snap, flip, and play.
It’s worldbuilding for DMs who want epic scale without epic setup.
🔄 Fully Modular. Infinitely Customizable.
Realm Brew tiles aren’t just cardboard cutouts. Each tile is double-sided with hand-drawn professional art, sealed in a laminated erasable finish. That means you can:
Swap out terrain as the story evolves
Mark traps or secrets directly on the tiles
Flip between flooded caverns, ruined bridges, and man-hewn dungeons
And yes — every tile uses six embedded neodymium magnets so they snap together securely and align perfectly. Build dungeons, connect rivers, and reveal hidden chambers with zero slippage or gaps.
🎨 Beautiful, Durable, and Battle-Ready
Realm Brew tiles are designed for both immersion and durability:
UV printed for vibrant, scratch-resistant art
Oil-polished to make them erasable and water-resistant
Compatible with 1-inch miniatures and standard 5-ft scale hex grids
Tough enough to handle dice rolls, spilled drinks, and chaotic sessions
These aren’t throwaway props. They’re built for years of campaigns — and the quality shows.
🌍 Explore Three Epic Themes (and Mix Them)
The launch includes three gorgeous themes:
Underground Caverns: twisting tunnels, vast chambers, eerie shadows
Subterranean Rivers: flowing water, narrow crossings, natural hazards
Man Hewn Dungeons: ancient ruins, carved catacombs, forgotten strongholds
Even better? They seamlessly connect. You can blend tiles across themes to create multi-layered, evolving worlds. Add overlays for goblin camps, dragon lairs, or magical labs, and your map becomes part of the story.
🧩 Overlays, 3D Lids, and Fog of War
Realm Brew goes beyond tiles:
Overlay packs let you add details like barricades, stairways, or lava pits
Box lids double as 3D terrain — including a waterfall, a rocky bluff, and a fortified prison!
Fog of War sets let you cover unexplored zones, revealing only what players discover
Everything is designed to speed up gameplay while keeping the mystery alive.
💸 What’s in the Box?
The best pledge (the Enhanced Hybrid Map tier at $139) includes:
All 3 tile sets
All overlay themes
3x Fog of War packs
Bonus early bird discount (44% off retail)
Plus, you can pay over time via Kickstarter’s new installment plan. Delivery is expected October 2025.
🎲 Final Thoughts
If you run D&D, Pathfinder, or any grid-based TTRPG, Realm Brew is a game-changer. It ditches the hassle of map prep and replaces it with an intuitive, creative toolset that adapts to your world.
Want your players to feel like they’re really exploring a living, breathing dungeon? This is how you do it.
