Dungeon Tiles - Photos

I grabbed a pack of these yesterday, and have to agree it's a really good set for those starting off, as well as those who have a collection already...Now WotC just make another wilderness oriented one and I'll be a pretty happy camper.

For dungeon pieces I prefer to use my Hirst arts pieces for the main event or really key elements but I do use the Dungeon tiles for the rest of the adventure, mixed with some supplemental pieces I made with Hirst arts. These things are awesome, IF you have the time to make them. The initial cost is similar to Dwarven Forge but the long term it turns out to be a hell of a lot cheaper. Thebest way to learn to use them is to pick out a basic project from the website like the Basic Gothic Dungeon or Basic Fieldstone Dungeon. It teaches you how the pieces work together and is a relatively low entry cost and you get some really nice pieces. When you've got that done and have experimented a bit, you can expand your molds one or two at a time and really make your dungeons shine. For outdoor terrain I am making a modular board similar to the Warhammer boards you see but cut into 5x5 squares. Still working out the details on that one.

Thanks for posting the images! These don't look bad, but I've already got something similar from another publisher, so I'll skip that set.

I can only echo the request for more wilderness tiles. I'm also looking forward to the city tiles that are on the list of future products. Unless they totally botch them, they'll be very useful for my campaigns.

Well, first I need to get the Tiles, right?

Nice Tile set. Pretty generic and still lots of useful extra stuff.
Note: They marked difficult terrain on the Tiles now, as they did on the poster maps in the adventure modules.

Thanks for the pics...I bought this yesterday and haven't even opened it yet. Now I think I'll wait until I actually need them so that I don't have to worry about keeping track of the little bits.

It hasn't been updated in a long time. The programmer -- working from my idea, after we'd discussed it at a local con -- used to maintain it separately, with more updates, but I don't know the current location.

Dungeon Tiles Mapper, updated, downloadable, and with a ton of tilesets to use, is here:

Oh wow, this certainly helps a lot. Many thanks for the pics Thanee.

Actually, what I'd really like is for Wizards to create an accessory set with mostly 1x2 and 1x1 tiles of chests, tables and other dungeon dressings.

Also, I don't want Wizards to make maps that are pure Dungeon Tiles, that would be boring. I just wish they would end their love affair with 6x6 rooms! They take 1 4x4, 2 2x4 and 1 2x2 tiles to make. Very annoying.

That would be awesome. There are way too few accessories right now. Especially when you need multiples.
