Itar's Workshop is running a dungeon terrain and accessories KickStarter. IW is raising funds for a spin-casting system for their line of resin models and has a modest goal of $7000.
You're probably already familiar with the Dwaven Forge KickStarter, so here's how they compare. IMO, There's room for both for your dungeon (and my tavern) needs!
Dwarven Forge:
* Better price for multiple basic dungeon tile sets: $120 for three sets (including stretch goals) plus extra stuff.
* Accessory add-on set TBA at $1M stretch goal. Free treasure pile and two barrels with each set pledged.
* Fewer variety of more tiles offer less customization, but easier organization.
* Full-wall tiles suitable for stone buildings, such as taverns. Free window tile with each set pledged.
* KS: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dwarvenforge/dwarven-forges-game-tiles-revolutionary-miniature
Itar's Workshop:
* Better international price for one set of basic dungeon tiles: $45 + $20 shipping vs. $65 + $50 for DF.
* More variety of tiles offers more customization.
* Half-wall tiles ideal for corridors and suitable for outdoor walls. Half-wall corridors work fine when DF's full wall tiles are used as rooms.
* Accessories do not require purchase of tiles. Ideal for anyone who already has 2D or 3D tiles.
* Accessories prices vary from $5 for a throne, to 12 lamps and lanterns for $2. Great price.
* Accessories are unpainted, but should be easy to paint. Tiles can be prepainted.
* Tiles and accessories compatible with Hirst Arts molds and products. IW is a licensed HA distributor.
* See the Dungeonstone FAQ of a picture of DF tiles used with HA tiles.

IW is also receptive to backer suggestions! I'm assuming they'll be using their already existing molds, so adding new accessories to their project won't be difficult.
