You are still limited in what you can do, since you have x number of tiles that can only be assemlbed x number of ways. Yet in the end the dungeons looks the same with the same feel and textures since you have 1 or 2 "styles" of tile that are supposed to look together.  Every dungeon looks the same in the end, the rooms are just arranged differently.This could help remove the sameness of the tiles, and start to cost a bit of cash too.  "Hey I want to run a dungeon in a black stone ancient temple...man that set is 39.99 so I better stick with the generic dungeon."Sure, I don't say they aren't flexible, but they are not nearly as flexible as my imagination.  Heck we used to tweak the heck out of Talisman making up new cards and characters and all that stuff, but it could never come close to the varitey of play we got from D&D. Do you think what you are discussing would be a richer gameplay experience than a well run RPG session as they are done now using only the imaginations of the players?</blockquote>
