Pretty good set. Makes nice-looking pieces and isn't what I'd call "difficult." I would also not call it "quick to build" or "so easy a child could do it." I've done a fair amount of papercraft in my day and this is about average as far as time investment for the quality of finished product (which really is quite good). From the description, I expected to finish a piece in about ten minutes. In reality, smallish tabs make it take a lottle longer. Also: some of the lines (particularly the score lines) are quite faint. To be fair, I printed the kit on fast mode in greyscale. To be equally fair, I printed my Fat Dragon DM Screen 2 the same way and had no such trouble seeing the lines. So not disappointed with the purchase in general but a little annoyed at the sometimes-hard-to-see lines. Would definitely recommend. Probably won't buy more but not even a little remorseful that I bought what I bought. I will use it over and over through the ages.

As the name implies, the Fold-N-Go series distinguishes itself from other entrants in the increasingly crowded printable terrain market by offering models that can you can simply fold together without glue. Your tradeoff is that the Fold-N-Go models require rather more complex cutting than models that require glue. And, as it turns out, Fold-N-Go models include several "optional glue" tabs (the models hold together better if you exercise that option), and a few actually require glue. I have to wonder whether, in the end, achieving "glueless" models really repays the effort. If you like the artistic style of Jonathan Roberts's maps in the Rite Publishing series of Fantastic Maps, this set lets you add a third dimension without combining different art styles. My own preference tends toward glued models that I involve less complex cutting, but if you lean the other way, definitely give Fold-N-Go a try.

The first offering of RiP’s Lone Tree-imprint offers us the tools to make 3-d paper models to depict our dungeons – which brings me to a point I have to admit: I’m kind of a paper-model nerd and subsequently I love the idea of this series. I’ll nevertheless try to be as unbiased and grumpy as you’ve come to expect me to be.

Designer Brain Bartlow and master of maps Jonathan Roberts have combined their talents to deliver an interesting project: The zip-file contains both the components for the dungeon and some items, as well as .studio files for cutters and 2 pdfs providing instructions on how to assemble the models. Lone Tree seems to have a policy to shun glue whenever possible, which is a boon – after all, it enables you to create the models while e.g. on the train or bus once you cut them out. Which is another definite plus; As many items of a kind as possible have been fitted on each respective page conserving ink/toner while printing out the full-color pieces.

What do you get, then? Each component comes with step-by-step instructions with photos to assemble the parts along easy to understand comments. To construct the dungeon itself, you get instructions on how to build the wall (with the optional step of using a magnet and iron fillings to make the floor heavier), a door (which, due to the moving parts and other concerns uses glue, single, hidden and double doors are provided), an instruction to actually make EASY-to-build stairs, glueless pillars and 2d-floors containing wells, treasure, pits (including spikes) and so on.

The items include iconic things like barrels, crates, curtains (though I would have liked more than one color), treasure chests, bedding, chairs (that look good from every angle and DON’T NEED GLUE!), square, rectangle and roundish tables and none of them require any glue whatsoever! The instructions provided for the assembly once again are easy to follow and illustrated.

Conclusion: The first offering of Lone Tree offers us a lot for our money, to be precise, all the basic furniture and components you need to create a basic model of a dungeon room. Given the modularity of the models, the ease with which one can assemble them and the fact that Jonathan Robert’s artwork is just cool, there is not much to complain about. I would have loved different-colored curtains or other artworks, just to offer an alternative, but that’s about the only thing I can complain about in this installment. For a very low price you get almost all the tools you need to create a basic dungeon and I hope for future installments to add new components and further expand on the glueless paper-models. My final verdict due to usability, artworks and ease of assembly, will be 5 stars.

First I wanted to thank Thilo for taking the time to do a review of our product. Second just wanted to point out that there are actually three colors of the curtain. Red, green, and brown. It's part of the PDF layers, you have to turn off the red layer to see the green. Then turn off the green layer to see the brown. Steve Russell, Rite Publishing.
