[QUOTE="davethegame, post: 4451769, member: 5389"] I grapple with this issue too- I own one of every set, and really enjoy using them, but logistics is an issue. If I just have a few small encounter areas (non-dungeons, usually) I'll assemble them into a baggy with any other terrain pieces and monster miniatures. If I'm making my own dungeon, I'll lay out the tiles with the minis on them to form the dungeon, take a picture, print it out, make notes, and put all the tiles needed together and refer to my picture to place them as we go. For published dungeons and similar, I tend to just take a bunch of tiles with me, organized by size (and leave out any non-dungeons, like the outdoor tiles) and just find them as they go through the module. This tends to take the most time during the game, which is somewhat annoying. (Quick plug: I talk about using dungeon tiles in Treasure of Talon Pass in my review: [url=http://www.critical-hits.com/2008/09/02/review-treasure-of-talon-pass/]Review: “Treasure of Talon Pass” : Critical Hits[/url]) At GenCon, the delve tables had dungeon tiles attached to matte board to form the whole dungeon, so the entire board could just be pulled out. You can also cover up portions and reveal them to get more of that exploration feel. [/QUOTE]
