[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3033646, member: 34175"] Felon - again its about what works for you. If you like small square rooms, then I [B]recommend[/B] you go for the new WotC tiles, you'll never have to worry about time, and they will hold up to a lot of abuse. However, if you want something a little different, then they suck! Period. Anyone that wants their game to be unique by adding architechural elements will quickly find that these just don't cut it. They aren't for everyone, They work for the time crunched must play now types, the young inexperienced DM looking to throw something together and those that only need a basic layout to get by. For anything else, they fail miserably. They are completely uncustomizable and are genre specific: square, cut-mine caverns; any natural setting will suffer from the lack of curves and "flowing" style of build. I'm sure that eventually they will come up with something to fill that void, but this isn't it. The other consideration is cost - you get 6 pages for 9$. That's it, if you need more you have to buy more. In the short term, they are cheaper. If however, you need multiples of a room in .pdf format, you pay the initial cost, print out the multiples and save big bucks. Spending $20 just to get two rooms isn't going to endear this product to those that game on a budget. If you have the money to spend, good for you, by all means go for it. I however have a wife, two kids and am a full-time student, my oldest starts college next year and my youngest starts when the oldest graduates. Saving money [I]is[/I] a big deal for me. :) No one is saying that one is better than the other (okay maybe a little bit) but each side of this 'argument' has its merit. For me it doesn't work, and convenience NEVER outweighs satisfaction for me. ;) [/QUOTE]
