An Excellent Addition to Any DM's Table
The media could not be loaded. My players have loved this so far! It makes rearranging maps, organizing enemies and terrain, and the overall immersion, a much easier thing to juggle as a DM at my table.I love this purchase. So much so that I bought the other kits and maps from their store after purchasing this one!Important notes:- I HIGHLY suggest getting a paper cutter to speed up the process of slicing everything. Cutting by hand can get very tiring very quickly.- The prints, specifically buildings, do NOT line up on both sides, but rather are mirrored images. You'll see this in the first photo where the buildings are shown one way versus flipped over. If you notice, the chimney icons flip sides and the building outsides no longer match the layout of the insides. It doesn't matter which way you flip it, the opposite side will always be mirrored. This is true of everything in their lineup. If you're cool with this, you won't have a problem! Otherwise, it may throw things off and you should be aware of it.- All pieces are double-sided. One side will look different from the other. Examples: A closed chest becomes an open one; An enemy on a stone background becomes the same enemy on grass; A flowing river of water becomes a flowing river of lava; and much more. There is a wide variety of pieces as a result, with many options at the DM's discretion.- These pieces match the gridded terrain boards made by from the same company. Some pieces have grassy backgrounds, others have stone. They work very well on top of the accompanying boards, and may look awkward if you use different ones instead.- Because of the lamination, the pieces are slick and will slide on top of the board if you don't have them stuck down with simple scotch tape or something similar. This can be frustrating if a player accidentally bumps the table or moves their mini a little too forcefully across one of the terrain pieces. Be aware of this!- The images are beautiful and the quality is pretty good. You're getting a great deal of stuff for a reasonable price, especially when compared to sources like Dwarven Forge. This is an excellent, cost efficient solution to anyone who doesn't want to spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for small dungeon arrangements.- There are A LOT of pieces. Like, a lot. Storing them can be difficult, so what I found was good was getting a binder with those clear paper protectors and using those to store pieces. For smaller pieces, like the smallest 1x1" tokens, I used coin collectors sheets. I used slotted and sectioned clear display sheets for everything else! It worked out well, but cost a little bit extra.Overall, I highly suggest this purchase. It's been a (literal) game-changer at my table, and I suggest it for any up-and-coming DM's who want to provide a little more visualization for their players!

A good start
These are great. Cutting them out is a pain but whatever.They are thick and laminated. They work really well. I don't have the basic set so there are some things I wish I had that aren't included in the cursed lands set. There are also several things where there are multiple copies of a tile that probably don't need multiple copies. But overall its good value and a very useable product.

Good-Great-Wonderful
We use it daily , great quality, useful and enjoyable. The box we go to whenever we arrange the map differently. So yes, we like it.

Plentiful... bountiful... five hours of cutting
The quality was really nice, they are thick enough to be stable but not so thick they are cumbersome. Static can be an issue though which may cause the pieces to slide around. I had the blessing of a straight cutter, the one that you slide back and forth. If you don't have one - print something at FedEx printers and use theirs. You'll get a much nicer cut, and it'll go much faster. On my own it took about 5 hours to cut it all out. I only had one casualty. In general everything is placed so you can cut it in smooth lines, a few were confusing which to cut first but once you get the hang of it the process speeds up.This is a solid investment and has done great for my campaigns. I just ran Wild Beyond the Witchlight using only this box and was just fine.My issue is there's no easy way to store this. I've been playing with ziplocks, bags, boxes. The best I've come up with is a binder with a split pocket clip. It's like a plastic protector for paper in a binder, but it's cut in half. That way all the pieces don't just fall to the bottom. The box it comes with becomes just a pretty thing to go on a shelf because there's no way this fits in it again.With that said, the charming colors, reversable tokens with use, and the general freedom of how its set up is really nice. If you have the patience, or friends, this is very much worth the investment. I think it'd still prefer 3D stuff but I'm mobile right now - when I get the dream home... one day...

Well made and priced fair
I was looking for something to add texture to a D&D campaign, without breaking the bank. Stumbled across this and after reading other reviews decided to give it a try. All the pieces are connected, so you have to cut them out.The good: Sturdy, well laminated, colorful and lots of different pieces including rivers, buildings, dungeons, monsters and more. Just a ton of pieces for the money.The bad: Lots of time spent cutting the pieces out, you will need to find a way to organize them after you have cut them out, some of the pieces repeat too many times. I mean how many tree stumps do you really need.Overall a great addition to my gaming for not much money. Already thinking about how I might get a laminator to make some custom pieces.

Made our game WAY better
These maps and pieces are fantastic. They have made our D&D game so much more interesting and easy to visualize. I love how customizable they are. Great quality paper and easy guides to cut. The dry erase marker is also easy to use on these pieces and a snap to wipe off. This set leveled up our game for sure and we will use them each time now. Totally worth the money for the added fun!

Wonderful addition to our game!
While cutting out all the pieces does take some time, this has been the best purchase I've made for dnd! All of my players love the additions that this has brought to our maps, I can't draw at all and this has made my life so much easier. Admittedly I do not use any of the monster/character cards as we use mini figures but that did not detract from the purchase at all for me. Every piece is double sided allowing you to use them in multiple ways. I usually tape them to my maps and they handle being taped and removed over and over beautifully. I've added a photo of how I've been using the smaller pieces. The bigger "buildings" that this comes with I love using as I don't have to make a map at all.
