Another nice collection of high quality seamless tiles for use in RPG mapping projects at a great price. I plan on importing these into Campaign Cartographer 3 as fill styles. I highly recommend these to folks like me who like to do their own cartography for their RPG games.

The tiles look absolutely amazing - no complaint there and I'm sure these would be infinitely useful in a variety of projects. Unfortunately, the hosting service used to host these ZIP files (FreakShare) for download makes you wait ten minutes plus in a countdown to even get to a download link, you then have to enter two words via Captcha as a verification (which you may have to do a couple of times because the words are often illegible), wait a couple minutes more before the download starts, and then FreakShare slows the download speed down to a crawl deliberately in hopes that you will get frustrated and pay them a ridiculously high fee for membership to download the files faster. It took me 50 minutes just to get the first file on the first page, so there is no way to download all of these unless you have days of free time to spare doing this. Yeah, I know, what did you pay for it and all, but still this hosting service is not ideal for files of this size and in this quantity. FreakShare is godawful. Hopefully another alternative can be found for hosting. But the tiles are high quality and look very nice, what I've seen anyway. UPDATE: By the fourth file, FreakShare stopped allowing me access to the files altogether saying "no download server available" (after wasting my time waiting through a ten minute countdown to get to a download link). The current delivery system make this just not worth the time and effort with FreakShare as the download host.

This tile set is visually gripping and very useful for modern and sci-fi games. Cobra games makes a good product and it has convinced me to buy some of their other offerings.

It is a fun room to use in a game. As a gamemaster I use it to keep the players on there toes

This is an art product, and as we all know, de gustibus non est disputandum, but I really think that for a small price you get a very good product. For a small publishing company such things are great, and I`m looking forward to next things I can get from Cobra Games.

This is a nice little idea for a theme map and the price isn’t something you can complain about either. Cobra Games is literally giving away a map of an elevator that can be used in just about any campaign except for a fantasy based one.

The map isn’t very big, but that makes sense as it is an elevator. How often have you seen a large and roomy one of those, eh? The map comes with two versions of the elevator room, one light and one dark and these can be used in a few different ways, like to designate the time of day, different floors of the building and…yeah, that’s about it. At least there is a variant, right?

Each version of the map also comes with six interchangeable 2×2 squares that you can cut out to use for the elevator chamber. This is a very nice idea, but the map gives no indication of what these are or what the various chambers can/should represent or even that this is what they are for. Common sense will lead you to this conclusion, but the map is very user unfriendly when it comes to first time gamers or younger folk.

An elevator map is a good idea as modern era campaigns will encounter elevators sooner rather than later. Still it’s a thumbs in the middle here as the map is free, but it’s also not laid out very well.

Solid system for being free, but I have my concerns about charging a franchising fee for a new, unproven system... Still, I'm sure a lot of gamers simply looking for new and interesting systems to play will be thankful that a seemingly solid system is offered at no cost.
