Very late to the party, but this is really nice. The roof is fabulous. I

I wonder if there is any way to offset each row by 1/2 stud . . .

Sure there is. Just put down a layer of 1x2 jumper plates, another layer of
regular plates (using the half-stud offset), and finally the tile slopes. The
only problem is that there’s not a clean way to terminate the design at roof’s
edge, as there are no 1x0.5 or 1x1.5 tile slopes or plates to soak up the
stagger, which will reach a full brick deep at the high edge of the tile slopes.
The same problem applies for flipping them on their tall edge to use as shingled
siding, though in that case it gets even worse, as you’d have staggered gaps at
the ends of each wall, and around any windows or doors.
