Dire Tombs is my favorite set. I has a lot of big rooms, corridors, and accessories for filling them out. The underdark is probably my least favorite. It's almost all small pieces that are hard to manage.
Big rooms are a lot better than tons of small pieces.
Of course, I've gone over the deep end to Dwarven Forge so now I don't use them much.
I wasn't much of a fan of the Fane of the Lost Gods because it has two overland pieces when they should all be dungeon rooms.
I use Dwarven Forge whenever I have time to set up stuff and don't have to travel. But I still find the Dungeon Tiles very useful when I travel to run a game away from home, or when I need to set up an encounter area quickly. I also like using the Ruins of the Wild set of Dungeon Tiles to create outdoor encounter areas. I hope Wizards put out more outdoor tiles soon for more variety.
Some more outdoor variety would be great. Like small lakes/ponds or actual rivers that are more than a few feet wide, bridges, stuff like that. Always useful.
Bye
Thanee

Wondering what the Dungeon Tiles are like? Take a look here.
I have two copies of every set and really find them handy. Of the 7 sets, I've used #1, 3, 6 the most. However, I would like to see more outdoor tiles with rivers, mountains, hills and forest/jungle terrain. Also, I like to see some good outer wall castle pieces.
I have some tiles, but I must confess I dont really use them- when building my own maps it feels.. wrong, kinda, to have to build based on what tiles I have. It seems limiting. How do people get around that? Are they primarily good for pre-made adventures, or is there a trick to making adventures using tiles instead of on a battlemat/1inch graph paper?
The tiles come in enough shapes and sizes you can build a dungeon with most any size rooms and connecting corridors if you buy multiples of each set of tiles. For the most special encounter areas such as giant caverns with lava rivers, etc. you would need to use something else, such as drawing the area on a mat or creating your own tiles to supplement.
