[QUOTE="Lhorgrim, post: 4564949, member: 12222"] Can anybody offer suggestions on the E-Z Dungeon or Dragon Tiles products? I have been happily using a Flip Mat for my games, but I'm looking to add a little more spice to the tabletop. My situation: I DM a D&D 4E game at my FLGS every other Saturday. One of my issues with my game is that drawing the map out for each combat takes too long for the result that I get. The more detailed or impressive I want the scene to be, the more time it takes to draw. I really like the look of E-Z Dungeons, but I'm afraid the set up time would be too long. Then again, the look of the finished product is better than anything I could ever draw on the Flip Mat. One of my other concerns with E-Z Dungeon is the portability. I have to transport my gaming gear from home to the game and back, and I'm not sure how the card models will hold up and how bulky they'll be to pack around. I like the Dragon Tiles also, and the initial construction time would certainly be less, but I'm a bit worried that the doors and accessories would get knocked over, or off the grid entirely. I'm not as worried about portability with Dragon Tiles due to the lesser number of 3D elements involved. I have downloaded the free demo pieces from each set, and I have no concern about cutting and glueing the pieces. Actually, I find constructing the models to be peaceful and relaxing. I figured out how to use a marker to color the edges of the model to cover the seams and give the model a more weathered feel, and really enjoyed the (minor) challenge of building the pieces.
