Dungeons in Blue - The Master List
Publisher: PBE Games

This review is for the Dungeons in Blue tiles in general, not just The Master List.

Simply put, they are very excellent for use in my game. Instead of a VTT I use them in conjunction with a laptop & projector and the quality is perfect for that. I assemble several tiles in GIMP and edit them as needed (add things here, remove things there, a dash of color to spice things up) and add a black layer over the top that functions as my fog of war. I simply erase bits of this layer as the party progresses through the dungeon and it works excellently. I really appreciate the GM tiles being separate as I put things like secret doors as their own layer in GIMP and leave them as not visible until the party discovers them; it works like a charm. While I do not yet own all of the tile sets (there are a lot!) I do own several dozen of them and plan on getting more. The range of options is great and I really dig the old school flavor as I am old enough to remember when all dungeons were blue.

These are worth the price, but one thing to look out for - during the recent GM sale the prices of individual tiles were cheaper than the prices of the same tiles as parts of bundles. So look around if there is a site-wide sale going on as you may be able to find an even better deal.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for your kind words, Jason. Much appreciated. The bundle/single pricing thing is a "feature" of DriveThruRPG's sales, and it's probably as frustrating for publishers as it is for customers. I know I cringe when I see bundles selling for more than the individual products they contain. It's definitely worth reviewing bundles before purchasing in all cases! Thanks again for the positive review! Happy gaming! Mark - PBE Games

I like these maps quite a bit and they will no doubt be useful as I run my players up against some giants. I would give the product 5 stars if it had more granular control over the layers that can be turned on or off. One particular example is that there really shold be a separate layer for hidden doors and the areas they lead to. I plan on printing these maps out for my players using a plotter, and will need to edit the secret areas out beforehand lest the secreat areas become not-at-all-secret to them. This isn't enough to cause me not to purchase more of these products in the future, but nonetheless it seems a glaring oversight to me.
