4.0 out of 5 stars The best of the Dungeon Tiles yet available, February 3, 2008

By	Michael Shea "reader / writer" (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've purchased all of the dungeon tile sets and this is my favorite one so far. Unlike the underdark set, this set contains a lot of nice big rooms - something I really need for a good encounter. It also contains far fewer small pieces - pieces I rarely use.

Because the color of these tiles are unique, you may want to purchase more than one set. They won't work too well with the other sets so you'll want plenty of pieces to build whatever dungeon you want.

The best way I have found to use these tiles is with a large poster board and some poster sticky putty. Sit down at a nice big table, lay out your dungeon on the poster board, and when you have it where you like it, use the putty to stick it to the board. Change it around whenever you wish and be sure it won't shift on you while you're actually playing.

Within a day I had a nice dungeon built and an entire scenario written around an ancient tomb cracked open by a vile snake cult. I can't wait to play it out.

After figuring out my poster board trick, I'm now a lot happier with dungeon tiles than I was previously. I recommend the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great DMing tool, January 9, 2008

By	DJ (Connecticut) - See all my reviews

This is the third set of Dungeon Tiles I've gotten and this is my favorite one so far. While the other tile sets I've seen are fairly generic in terms of dungeon dressing, this one throws in things like skeletons, mummies and coffins. Good for a quick dungeon crawl you throw together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what the DM ordered, January 2, 2008

By	Cool Ray Gun - See all my reviews

Dire Tombs is a great addition to a DM's arsenal of props and tools for the tabletop D&D game. If you liked the other tiles in this series you will enjoy and make great use of these.

Of particular note: This set is a different color than all the previous grey stone colored tiles. These are a desert tan kind of color offering an exploring the pyramid kind of feel.
