5.0 out of 5 stars Create a Classic Dungeon Crawl, September 8, 2008

This is my favorite set of tiles for the Dungeons & Dragons game from Wizards of the Coast. Like all D&D map tiles, they are made of durable 1/16th inch card stock and printed on both sides with a textured matte finish. The tiles are scaled for use with D&D Miniatures, and also work well with other poplular figures such as those from Reaper or Warhammer. The Lost Caverns set has everything you need for a classic dungeon crawl. Illustrated with rough hewn stone tunnels that twist and divide, pits that descend into unfathomable dark depths or pools of searing molten rock, and an underground stream, these tiles set the scene for limitless underground explorations. Large 4 x 4 and 4 x 8 tiles can be combined with border pieces to create cavernous rooms. Other tiles include images of the skull of an ancient Black Dragon, a blob of green slime, an inky black pool, and steep or rough terrain.
None of the D&D tile sets include enough pieces, but the prices are low enough to buy multiple sets. Plan on buying two sets to start, or your dungeon adventure will be a short one.

Not every encounter occurs in a manufactured dungeon or crypt... what about natural caves? This product provides the tiles for those encounters... and they fit nicely with previous tile sets as well! My game player's were pleasently surprised when I brought out these tiles... they added a wonderful new flavour to the game.

... if, that is, you want to set a role-playing adventure or miniatures skirmish in a cavern complex. As with all of WotC's Dungeon Tiles line, the tiles are make of sturdy material like that used for board game boards, and the artwork is very attractive. Thus far, "Lost Caverns of the Underdark" is the only WotC Dungeon Tiles release that actually specializes in caverns, though some of the flavor pieces from other sets can be used in the caverns with little difficulty. You get ordinary cavern floors as well as pits, columns, pools, and other such hazards. I recommend this product.
