Master Plans Dungeon Rooms One
This review may seem similar to the others of this series as they have lots in common.
It is nice to see some good quality rooms that one can print out as much as they want coming out. With the heavy use of miniatures that seems to be popular with d20 players these days, these types of products should be used more as they are modular and not too expensive.
Dungeon Rooms is a program that runs the pdfs. It is best if it is unzipped in its own folder as most of the rooms are their own pdf file. The program previews them for you and allows you to select them in full size as full color or black and white. The program is easy to use, and allows for one to quickly see what is available and to get to the one you are looking for. However, there is a thick border on the left that makes some of the writing almost impossible to read without highlighting the text.
The zip file this comes in is huge. That is no surprise as there are plenty of full color pictures, but still the thirty four meg zip file will make for a long down load for people on dial up. It unzips into many smaller files as the maps each have their own file and then there is also a program. But it does create its own folder which is a really nice addition.
There are six different dungeons presented here. Like the others, they are not arranged in any specific order, just the rooms and hallways are provided and the DM must arrange them however he sees fit. The art is very well done in both e full color and the grayscale. The light sources are shown and the shadow the furniture and walls creates is fully detailed. The rooms and hallways are also presented with no light sources shown so the DM can use whichever he wants.
I would have liked to see sample floor plans for the dungeons instead of just letting the DM do it. The price though is very good for this level of detail and usability. Obviously the dungeons can be mixed and matched with ease to create new versions or one super dungeon.
