I just opened up the new set "Hidden Crypts". Very Good.
Plenty of caskets, Platforms, and now odd shaped rooms.
2 new sets down the way.
April: Ruin of the Outdoors: Trees and Outdoor stuff?
Nov. Caverns of Underdark: Cavern & Cave Stuff
These should be great too. Anybody else use/love these???

| | We've been using the first set a lot, especially to spice up rooms. Just got set 2 and 3, so it'll be fun to crack them open at the next session and get a look at them. | |

| It is an excellent way to form dungeons. I like them very much.

| I love the dungeon tiles. I can't believe that it took WOTC so long to think of them.
I'd like future sets to consist of above ground settings with wooden floors and staircases, furniture and whatnot. I'd also like a set concentrating on wilderness environments - grass, boulders, tree's. And of course I'd like for them to make two of the large tiles in each set be designed as one large room. | |

| I can't wait to start using them, they are certainly a step up from blank mats and markers...

| | SO we cracked open some of the other packs this weekend, and even just adding a few tiles to a drawn map, like baziers, really made it pop. The color adds a lot to the "tan" environment of the normal battlemap. Please, WOTC, continue to make more! | |

| Lemme get this straight: do you build entire floorplans for rooms and dungeons with the tiles, or do you simply add a few of them on top of the battle map for visual effect? Or both?

| | We just used them on top of the map for the most part. The adventure that we were playing wasn't condusive to building the entire map out of them, and we were also a bit slow that day. But there have been times when we did make entire maps out of them. Just not this time. | |

| Hmm, okay. I thought people only made entire maps out of them, was surprised to read your comment. I think i'd actually be more inclined to use them on top of the battle mat myself, thinking about it.

| | There's a gaming group at a store I frequent that does use the tiles for all of their maps. I think mixing the two can get the best results. | |

| | You can't do everything that you need to do with just the tiles yet. Anything in the wilderness requires either a fantastic location map or a drawn out on the battlemap. They're just three sets in and seem to be very popular. They'll make more and they should be able to provide for more situations as more sets come out. | |

| Actually, using the tiles only partly appeals to me. I'm not sure i'd want to stick to tiles-only maps, as i want full flexibilty to do whatever room/environment i feel like doing. However, adding some details such as wells, chandeliers, floor tiles or whatnot appears like an interesting idea.

| Question: when you put tiles on the battle mat, how to you prevent them from being accidentally displaced all the time?

| Can't edit my message for some reason, but the first line should have read "Actually, using the tiles only partly to identify terrain appeals to me." (Read: with the rest being conventionally drawn on the battle mat)

| Personally, with all the releases they are planning, I can see being able to make whole dungeons with them.
This is how I will be using them.
We play on a green felt board, with removabe 1 inch grid marking (taut string) I plan to do the outdoor encounters on the felt, and use the tiles to do dungeons/cities. They don't slide on the felt at all, which, in playing around with it, was a minor issue laying them on a battle mat.
