Dungeon Tiles DT1

[Thanee]

The 1st set of Dungeon Tiles is long OOP and somewhat expensive (not at a ridiculous level, but still many times more expensive than a new set of Dungeon Tiles).

So my question is... how useful is this set?

Assuming I have all the other sets (which I don't at this point, but I can get all of them for the standard price still)... does DT1 add something more or less important to the mix?


Is there a place where you can see the full content of all the sets? -> Now there is

It's just a standard dungeon tile set. Nothing too special. If you're an OCD collector, get it, otherwise, you'll find plenty of use from the ones that are still in print.

It's no doubt the most generic of the set, which in my opinion is a good thing if you don't want a lot of preprinted stuff in your rooms. So it's pretty good for that use, populating your own rooms.

That's pretty much what I thought, that it might have most of the really generic pieces, which tend to be rather useful. Thanks!

Guess I'll just get one of those for 3-4 times standard price... before they get even more expensive.

Hopefully you don't need more than one...

I bought 2 copies of them when they first came out. Like other posters have said, they are pretty generic. I think that you can get by without them if you have copies of most of the other sets.

If you're talking about the FIRST set, well let's just say I want a few of them. Because none of the other sets have taverns/barns, and DT1 has a lot of floor space.

I sure hope the first one of the second set has a lot of the above.

I've recently picked up all but 1 and 3, they both seem reasonably rare. 2-3 packs of the original and a pack of #3 would be nice

With the miniature-centric 4th edition, I am surprised that these are not on the immediate reprint list. I can't see why any of these sets are allowed to go out of print as long as they make money. Enough people ask for these sets, you would think they would listen.

The set was simple and basic. Most of it you can achieve by buying "x" quanities of more recent sets. However they do have rooms that can not be gotten otherwise. Maybe search for one then concentrate on newer stuff.

I have no idea if the WoTC site still has it but it used to have a section that showed all the sets and in theory if you said you have 2 of #1 and 4 of #4 you could assembly a mock maze on the site to see what it would look like first.

Gleemax and the 4e switch may not have carried this tool over however.

Also: I suppose that the next set, DU1 Halls of the Giant Kings will be more generic, more for the starter, since it looks like a re-boot of the line for 4E (well, it starts at DU1 again, instead of continuing the old line). So if you want to get the first set because of it's "starterness" or "genericness", waiting for the next set is perhaps similarly good.
