[QUOTE="alleynbard, post: 4824235, member: 16220"] The tiles are great but there are many encounter areas in H2 (and beyond) that you cannot accurately build. One of the major issues with the official tiles is they are not horribly user friendly with the official adventures. Ironic, I know. Another issue with the official tiles are the sheer number you need to buy for them to be useful. Many of the sets simply do not have the "props" you need to build common things like bedrooms. I have a ton of tiles and I still run into this issue. I am currently running H2 and even when I have the right tiles to build the room shape, I rarely have the right tiles to handle the dungeon dressings. That said, there are a number of online sources for tiles. The advantage here is you can print what you need, apply them to posterboard, and re-use them over and over again. In time you will have a rather robust set to handle most options. For instance, you can check out the following companies and generally find what you need. In any case, you will likely need to mix and match before you can achieve what you are looking for. I know that Fat Dragons sells 3-d prop sets while Empty Room provides the props at the end of their pdfs for you to cut out and use if you would like.
