I have read Dennis 1 Star review and I understand his argument, that although you get 200 icons, many of them are basically the same, as only the color or the texture used is changed, which can be seen when you take a look at the preview image. And I agree that like 20$ is a very steep price to buy those icons - if you only use them for private purposes. And here's the reason I am giving 5 stars: The License of this Item grants you the right to use your created maps in your productS (plural!!!) So you could sell your maps right here on DriveThruRPG. Quote: "The art can appear in advertisements for products which use the image." (Dear publisher, if this is wrong please correct me!) To me that means a lot. And regularly addtional icon packs are offered for about 2$ with the same license - buy once and worry no more. And that's a good deal! Please note: I don't receive anything from the publisher for this review nor have I been contacted by the publisher to write this review. And I am not in any way related to him. This is my own opinion.

Just purchased this dungeon map symbol/icon pack, and am severely disappointed. Though there are technically 200 icons, many of the icons are palette swaps. You get 36 different palette swap potion icons, 18 different palette swap candle icons, 34 different palette swap chair icons, 14 palette swap stoll icons, about 3 different types of tables which are palette swapped for 17 icons, 6 different kinds of braziers, 4 palette swaps for carts. Oh, and get this: 1 icon for a bag. one. Zero crates, zero barrels or the like. Aside from an iron maiden and shackles icon, there are no "nasty dungeon" icons - no skulls, skeletal remains, goop, ooze, detrius, rubble or anything else.

While the icons you get are decent, they don't get you very far for RPG map generation, unless you plan on making lots of farmer houses.

Overall, these "200" icons are most certainly not worth the $15.95 they are asking for.

If they sell it for $3.00, it's worth a buy, but I honestly feel very misled. I was expecting some palette swaps, but not over 50% of the icons.

Don't buy this product. It's not worth it.

I\'m sorry to read you\'re disappointed. The product image is a contact sheet showing all the icons in the set, so the collection\'s contents shouldn\'t be a surprise. We\'ve also looked at other icon collections and felt these were priced accordingly, but perhaps that has changed and we need to check that again. I\'d be happy to work with DriveThru/RPGNow to do a refund or work with you directly.
