Does anyone have Dungeon Tiles II yet?

[Ant]

I've picked up two of each set so far and they're definitely worth the asking price.

They were perfect for the last mini dungeon crawl the party delved into. I just layed the dungeon out beforehand and then, starting with the final room, stacked them up ready for use.

So it was a piece of cake to slap them down as the party explored. Much quicker, prettier and more accurate than the usual wobbly-shaped rooms and corridors I draw on the battlemat!

Of course, this isn't quite as easy if it's a large, multi-pathed dungeon.

I love these things. I bought 3 of the first set and they were so awesome I bought two of the new set sight unseen (that is very rare for me to do and is a testament to the high quality of this product). I am really pleased to know that a wilderness set is due out (but not till MAY! Agh! How can I wait that long!). I use the tiles in virtually every game (the new set had some great pieces to create a palace's dining and dancing room for a huge party the PCs went to recently).

Keep 'em coming and I'll second the motion for a ship themed set!

I got my tiles yesterday and they're amazing. I only couple of qualms:

1) Doors are situated in the middle of a tile, so you have to make little hallways to every room--can't slap a adjoining doors on the side.

2) The list provided above should be accessable somewhere on the product sleeve. Back cover would be good.

I agree. Amazing tiles, but a few practical problems. Doors that are designed to join two areas without the "little hallway" effect that you mention would be nice. Also, everything is assumed to be "even-numbered" in size (2x2, 4x2, 8x4). It would be nice to have some basic 5' corridors, as well some 3x3 chambers.

At the WotC website you can download a free drag-and-drop Dungeon Tile arranging program.

I love these tiles. They're great by themselves, with other pre-printed maps, and also my hand-drawn maps. Lots of customizability!

I already started its own thread in this forum, but check out this supplemental program WOTC put up on their website.

I picked up a set of Dungeon Tiles I and II almost 2 weeks ago. That weekend I put them to immediate use in showing my players the layout of a manor house that had been taken over by a medusa. I found them to be quite useful, and could easily see myself getting another set of each of them.

I only had two minor problems with them. I would like to see more stuff that allows for 5' wide corridors and stairs. Covering over part of the tile to represent smaller staircases cased some stacking issues, but no big deal. The door problem with a bit more troublesome. I would prefer to have doors shown on the edge of the tile. Better yet, I would like them to include doors that can be put into a base and stood up. That makes it easier to show where doors are, and doors can be put anywhere without needing those 2.5' alcoves.

Some suggestions would be for them to create curved corridors and rooms (which it looks like they are doing), the above mentioned doors, and personally I would like to see some alcoves with statues, or places to put them.

All in all, a pretty good product for the price. A rare entity these days!

Your door issue would be addressed by Fiery Dragon's Adventure Tiles: Dungeons. Alas, it's out of print.

I am currently solving that issue with creating my own door tiles. I'm going to find a nice bit of door artwork, print it (color printer/copier is your friend) on very heavy cardstock, then use my old Cardboard Heroes bases to make them upright. Viola! Easily visible doors!
