5.0 out of 5 stars Witchlight Fens DT Set Review, June 21, 2011

I think this is the first tile set I purchased where the sample dungeon didn't require two sets.

I'd say roughly 50% of the tiles are land, while the other 50 is water or marshy areas. When I initially looked at the tiles, I was slightly disappointed because I was hoping the tiles would be darker in color and more muddy looking in appearance. However, I quickly got over that when I realized with the current color scheme, it is easy to piece together this set with previous releases of outdoor sets such as The Wilderness.

Here's a rough idea of what tiles are included:

8x8 A dock
1x2 boat
2x raft
4x4, 4x8 bridge connecting two small pieces of land (easy to connect with larger bodies)
4x4, 2x4, 2x2 pond
2x8 (2) river
8x8 bridge connecting two pieces of land
8x8 small building on an patch of land with docks on two sides

Also included a few tree tiles, fallen logs, statues, large rocks and many pieces to create a small swampy island.

Overall, I'd say this is a really useful set. I was hoping to get more tiles for areas with water. :)

This review is from: The Witchlight Fens - Dungeon Tiles: A 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons Accessory (4th Edition D&D) (Board book)

This review is pretty much in line with the original review of this product. I would add, though, that there are also several of the typical "dungeon-to-marshland" and "forest-to-marshland" tiles included, and that, as usual with WotC stand-alone tile sets (i.e. non-Master Tile sets a la "the Wilderness", "the Dungeon", "the City"), 6 double-sided sheets just isn't quite enough material to make a sizeable map. Therefore, imo the set requires the purchase of a second set, such as the Wilderness set mentioned above, or a second or third "Witchlight Fens" set to really make a decent-sized battlefield. So, 4 stars from me as it is an excellent supplement but falls just short of being super.
