[QUOTE="Davelozzi, post: 7148733, member: 771"] I have three DF sets: Room & Passage Set, Cavern Set, & Cavernous Passages Set. I purchased them probably 10 years ago or longer, before I had kids, so it was a bit easier to justify, and I feel like they've gotten more expensive since. I thought they were somewhere in the $120-$200 range when I bought them, but can't be sure. Anyhow, I love them. These three sets cover me plenty well enough for most indoor encounter areas (I don't build out whole dungeons at once, I just grab what I need for each battle as it comes up. Sometimes I ballpark the shape of the room to match the pieces available rather than making it 100% faithful to the map, but that mostly happens for natural caverns and I don't feel like it holds me back creatively, as if I do have a unique encounter area that doesn't fit the maze pieces, I'll just draw it on a battle mat or a large piece of paper instead (or if it's a set piece encounter and I have sufficient prep time, sometimes I'll fancy it up with giant colored construction paper cut to show the terrain. But I'd say the three DF sets probably cover 90% of my indoor encounters, so I definitively get plenty of use out of them. I keep the three sets packed in the boxes they came in. They're a little bulky but we usually play at my house in my regular campaign so transport is a non-issue there, and when I play at my nephew's house in his game, I just toss the three boxes in the trunk of my car, which also works. If I was playing somewhere that I had to commute to via bike or public transit I'd go without, but that hasn't happened in years, probably not since I've even owned this stuff. So I give it the thumbs up for what I've got now. However as cool as some of the newer sets look, cost, space and lack of versatility will probably keep me from expanding my collection any further. The town sets might be tempting if they were more reasonably priced. Sent from my iPhone using EN World [/QUOTE]
