Dwarven Forge MasterMaze!

[Dr Midnight]

Look at all that glorious MasterMaze, piled high on the table, just waiting to be put together.

We've got an epic battle coming up, featuring a full table of the stuff, guest stars, guest PLAYERS, and even Drizzt Do'freakin'Urden in the game this coming Thursday. The DM has has tons of Dwarven Forge's sweet sweet MasterMaze, with more due to arrive before game day. Look at this test dungeon we put together, just to see what we could do:

Two dragons, a beholder, several undead, and tooo many secret doors. It was so damn cool.
Here's the dragon room:

We've got acres of MasterMaze, and hundreds of minis to fill it with. It's going to be a good game.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

My head is going to explode with all the excitement!!

Doc, you are a very, very bad person for posting that. Now my pathetic dry-erase mat will embitter me come gaming night.

Thats all the master maze you have. Sorry you can only build those small dungeons

No, thats about the same amount of the stuff I have. I wish I used it more but it takes so long to put up and they fly through the dungeons to quick.

Those poor dragons stuck in those rooms for hundreds of years. They should of left when they could still fit through the doors.

Do people actually buy these? They are so expensive, it would seem you'd need a thousand US dollars just to put together a decent dungeon.

Also, wouldn't you have to put it together ahead of time? It looks time consuming to assemble (someone tell me if I'm wrong please). If it's put together ahead of time, wouldn't you have to put sheets of paper over them or something so people can't see what's ahead of them? Even if you do, it would be easy to see secret areas, or do you not build those unless they find them?

To me, it seems like the holy grail to get a big set of Master Mazes, but the money and apparent disadvantages listed above would seem not worth it.

I would love to hear opinions.

I use a dry erase mat an only put the monster maze down for important rooms. (ie battles ect) So I dont need alot.

If you built entire dungeon you would use way to much . Also I have never fount I needed those tie things. There seems to be enough friction between the table and the model.


Dwarven forge is great they have too much of my own money.

We use tiles instead of Dwarven Forge, similar but without the walls. Together with various features, doors and pillars etc they increase the gaming exprience immensly.
After buying dozens of various tiles for caverns and flooring we made our own moulds to create more, so now we can fill an entire table if we wish. Hghly recomended.

Where did you get these, and the molds? That would be much cheaper, overall....

If I were a rich man...I would have the perfect game room!

They are so expensive, it would seem you'd need a thousand US dollars just to put together a decent dungeon.

And you'd need near a half-a-million dollars to buy a house in San Fransisco. Expense is relative.

I bet Bill Gates could put together a really nice set of MasterMaze. ;-)
