| | Anyone ever built a dungeon using molds from Hirst Arts? I thinking of getting a few mold sets from them to build my dungeon but it will be costly. Would like to know its playability for DDM games. | |

| Yeah, I have used them and have a thread here:

Warning it contains spoilers for the RHoD.
As far as games go with the HA stuff. They are great, add a real 3d feel and show reasons why there is cover and concealment and rules for heavy undergrowth etc....I love them But I am biased | |

Smoke I have used some black cotton or felt over the grid. For trees, I bought a bunch of trees and glued them to wooden 2x2 inch square bases. Works and looks great | |

| I bought cheap trees that are used for railroad stuff and glued them on WK bases. They work awesome.
Smoke hmmm no idea... | |

| | I haven't used the Hirst Arts molds myself, but a friend in our play group does. His dungeons are beautiful, and it certainly makes the playing experience a lot better. | |
