Streets of Shadow = Sewers of Shadow

[AnthonyRoberson]

Maybe I had some misconceptions about what it was going to contain, but the new Streets of Shadow Dungeon Tiles expansion is more like Sewers of Shadow. I was looking for building tiles to use in an upcoming city-based scenario and I did get some - three. A grand total of three small building tiles *SIGH*. On the other hand, if you want some sewer tiles, the set has a boatload of them...

I was a bit annoyed too. I pre-ordered two sets on the basis that I would have many city tiles and maybe a few sewer tiles. As a result I have one opened set of Cities of Shadows - and one unopened one.

A nice couple of sets. But I agree - too many sewers and not enough buildings.

I think it's a great set of tiles...but as you both note, it's very very poorly labeled!

That said, sewer tiles are pretty useful for a city game--you never know when your players are going to decide to just hop into the sewers and go following some unintentional red-herring that they picked up in a dialogue with one of your NPCs.

I was actually quite happy with it...

One side is streets, one side is sewers. Means never having to figure out the optimal way to lay your tiles because both sides are possibly appropriate.

It's almost like getting two sets in one.

In short, I'd love to see them continue this trend of two thematically related, but aesthetically different, tilesets, e.g. perhaps caves and wilderness, ruins and catacombs, etc.
