Dungeon Tiles. Anyone used them at length yet?

[Thanee]

Agreed. I'd like to see them do one sheet of 1 -2 square odds and ends, like beds, tables, chairs, coffins, chests etc. I know they've done a few of these...but not many.

Isn't there stuff like this in the DMG? You could make color copies of those.

I'm also reasonably sure, that someone has made PDFs with such accessories already for printing.

I lay down the tiles when the room is unusual, or if I expect a combat to take place - otherwise, I just describe whatever corridor they're in. i don't prep them much - I just lay the tiles out on the GM area and pop them into place as needed.

Yes, but I want it of the same quality cardboard(stock) I know there is lots to download, but it would not be teh same. So far we have used props and chips to represent stuff, but I think it would be a good expansion

Fair enough.

There are proabably some boardgames worth checking out for some double usage.

For small, linear dungeons I select the tiles needed and then stack them from farthest room to closet room (to the dungeon entrance).

For larger dungeons I first discard all unusable tiles, flip the remaining tiles onto the side I think would be most useful and then stack all like tiles together. Special tiles like pit traps etc get their own little pile. This means I don't need to go searching for that one right tile and it's quick and easy to slap the tiles down to make rooms etc. This method is particularly valuable when you own a lot of Dungeon Tiles. You do need to have some real estate handy to keep all of your tile stacks (I DM flanked by two small side tables which are perfect for such an occassion).

They really make my dungeons seem much more interesting now that I do not have to use the Clue board game board anymore.

Actually they are really cool. They allow me to quickly throw out some tiles to make the dimensions of the room seem better. And they are really wonderful for the price!

 

[Agamon]

I bought some, but I haven't used them much. I still prefer my Tac-Tiles.

 

[Woas]

I have some but not used them much. I'm waiting for rounded pieces (like quarter circles, half circles). And I agree that there should be more single tile/2x1 tiled decor like chairs, tables, pilars, altars, statues, fauntains, dead bodies (to mark where enemies/players are down) and even pieces of standard equipment like weapons since a lot of times both PCs and NPCs like to switch their weapons mid combat an end up dropping their current weapon for the free action. And I'd also like some nature themed pieces like trees of various sizes, heavy overgrowth, light overgrowth, low rock walls, bramble fields, etc. but assume that will probably be its own themed pack later on.

As it stands now (I don't have any of the latest set, just the first two) many of those pieces are "built-in" on the largeer 10x4 and such pieces.
So I don't really use the pieces to form a whole dungeon out of. Usually I will just grab a couple pieces and make the room a combat is occuring in if I think of it. Or I just use my dry-erase board I have.

i still have and occassionally use the Games Workshop boxed sets from 1983.

Dwarven Forge has a bunch of furnishings. But they're expensive...
