 Great set July 10, 2010

Personally, I've really enjoyed this set. The 3D sheets add something new to the game, make the tactics more tangible and makes my table connect more to what their doing. The wagon (one of the 3D items) came in handy during an escort quest, providing some good cover and tactics. Worth picking up in my opinion.

Huge fan of Darksun in 2nd and I love the dungeon tiles, they work very well with other rpg (not a fan of 4th, go pathfinder) but the tile set of Darksun is the worst set so far. they are not versatile like most of the other sets, most of the tiles have water on them which is not very useful for a desert setting. The 3D aspect is ok but not all that useful for game play. If you are running a game that is all deserts all the time you will need more then this set, if you are looking to round out you terrain peaces this is not to bad, but there a better thing you could use.
Not enough "desert" in this desert tile set July 6, 2010

As another commenter pointed out, there are only 4 flat tile boards in this set - the others are meant to be punched out and assembled into 3D objects.
My main complaint about this set is that almost half of the tiles have water on them. WATER. Dark Sun is famous for being a harsh barren world where lack of water will kill you, so I was agitated to find out that half of the pack wouldn't be helpful for my Dark Sun adventures. I know that the tiles are there to simulate the various oases you find around Athas, but it would have made more sense (and been more truthful advertising) to bundle these tiles in a separate pack titled "Oases of Athas".
What I was hoping for were a complete set of tiles that simulated the various difficult terrains of the Dark Sun world - rocky barrens, sea of silt, badlands, etc. I'm pretty disappointed overall in this tile set.

You really only get 4 sheets of tiles. The other 2 sheets are allocated to making 3D shapes. I think the 3D sheets are a waste. They take time to assemble and can't be transported easily. They seem like toys for little kids as they really don't enhance the visual experience... looking really out-of-place when combined with the tiles.
WoTC really should make the 3D sets completely separate so the people that like them can buy them and the rest of us are not forced to pay full price for only 4 sheets of tiles.
The 4 sheets of tiles are actually useful IMO; I just wish we got 6 sheets.
