 Not a standalone set March 8, 2010
Sanctus (California, USA)
Similar to what some of the other reviewers have said, this is definitely not a set to use by itself. There are very few large expansive areas with most having corners or walls. It's sort of a chore and a puzzle in itself just to figure out a way to use any workable number of the tiles together. The rivers are a nice touch, but again limit what can be connected where. The bodies are novel at first then quickly become distracting as you either have to tell your players to ignore them or repeatedly revisit why they're there.
I could see this being great if you bought two or three, or if you had some other tile set that could blend in partially(maybe Dire Tombs, which is a fantastic set btw). Otherwise, for a one-of don't bother.
 Great backdrop! February 22, 2010

This item is great as backdrop! It is a must have in a RPG session with miniatures
 Caves of Rivers October 7, 2009

Yeah... I was hoping for more actual caves and tunnels and less rivers and pools. There is water on almost every tile in this set, and no big rooms without water (though you could assemble a relatively big room out of multiple tiles). Great if your adventure takes you into a waterlogged cave system a la "The Descent", but not so great if you want a network of dry caverns.
Also, there are too many corpses everywhere on the tiles; you shouldn't have to utter the sentence "ignore all the corpses lying around" during your game (if ever). This set was not what I was expecting.
Versatile and useful August 28, 2009
S. Rexwinkle (Oakland, CA United States)
it has lots of cave tiles - even an underground river! you can map that river through and add more of your cave with carnage abounding or make a dry cave with ambush areas. cave portions work well lost caverns of the underdark set, has pieces that connect with standard dungeon areas [starter set tiles, dungeon tiles 1,Arcane corridors, Hidden crypts set, and more], sewers of streets of shadows set, or even wilderness tiles of set #4 and probably upcoming sinister woods set. pipe can start river and flow to underground source or flow into sewer start or waterfalls in the wild.
if you want large cave portions more of this set an lost caverns of the underdark. If you want a longer river [quite long one doable as is], get more of this one. one peice is a raft that a party of 4 could take down said river [even to sewers?]. DM can have fun with these.
Another nice tileset June 13, 2009

They're pretty, they're sturdy, and they get the job done.
For extensive underground dungeon crawls, buy two of these.
