In my never-ending quest to perfectly reproduce tabletop combat conditions in a role-playing game, I faced a daunting challenge: how to reproduce a thrilling combat scene with Lovecraftian crustacean monstrosities on a bridge. This scene, straight out of Ripples from Carcosa, required a bridge, and by the gods I was going to make one!

The question was which bridge? The answer is VillageWorks. That's right, I bought all of VillageWorks just for this bridge. But it's a beautiful bridge, complete with creepy totems and railings. With a little Photoshop work I switched out the red totem for the Yellow Sign and voila! I had a bridge that was suitably creepy and a perfect ambush point.

And oh yeah, it will help you build a village too: floors, buildings, and roofs of all varieties popular with medieval-style villages, hovels, huts, ponds, bogs, stalls, mills, fences, and wells. It also addresses a pet peeve of mine. Few adventurers actually battle it out in front of a building; most of the combat takes places inside, which renders three-dimensional cardboard models little more than window dressing. Fortunately, WorldWorks provides stackable second floor designs of various materials to fit inside the buildings. For the smaller buildings, maneuvering characters within the terrain is still a challenge, but this feature at least makes it feasible for combat to take place.

This is a superb set that's perfect for a dungeon master who needs to whip up a village…or creepy bridge ambush.

Really great product. Everything I expected it to be.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Beautiful artwork, good price, high "re-use" factor.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Some of the buildings were difficult to assemble, but I don't really see it as a fault. It's more a testament to the detail involved. They all looked great when I was done.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Wow, well worth the money. amazing product, a million uses, and you can customise somewhat to make larger or smaller dwellings, use your PC's scaling functions to print in different scales, all in all the worldworks stuff is the best out there.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Everything, honestly.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: It made me want to buy all the other worldworks stuff.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

The versatility of this set is amazing. It allows you to build houses with as many floors as you'd like, and add your choice of roof style. You can also customize buildings with your choice of chimneys, signs, etc. All of these options allow you to put together a whole town filled with unique buildings.

Unfortunately, this set was released before WorldWorks started including building interiors and gridless grownd tiles. Still, it's well worth the purchase price.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Versatility, modularity.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Lack of gridless ground tiles.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

These are some of the best cardstock buildings I have seen. Though they are a little more complicated than the Vyllage on the Cheep buildings, they look a lot better, but they do use up the ink. But if you've got the ink, these are hard to beat.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Look fantastic. Lots of variety.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Uses ink at a prodigious rate. Villagers had black backgrounds, like I said, uses lots of ink.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I love the Villageworks set. I'm using it for my Mordheim group and also our D&D groups use it as well. Excellent flexibilty and all around awesome artwork. I can't wait to expand out into more of the sets<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

I have had this set for a few months now and have built almost every part of it. The set has lots of potential for all miniatures players, not just fantasy. The set works well for European type vilages from many time periods, and I find myself using it for fantasy Napoleonics (Flintloque) as well as for WW2 villages. While the game tiles have a grid pattern, the buildings and accessories dont require the tiles, and can be used on whatever game mat you use.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Versitility, relative ease of assembly, great color. The instructions, pdf file or online, are very clear and easy to use.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Grid patern tiles. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

An amazing product for roleplaying and tabletop battles. The buildings are highly detailed and easy to put together.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The images are very impressive, the directions are easy to follow and the variety of buildings are numerous.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I only wish that I had found out about it sooner. If it wasn't for my local game store, I would have never found this product.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Another fine quality product. Worth the money, but a strain on the printing budget. Lots of unique items. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Villageworks is one of my most used sets. The options with the houses are so vast. they are sure to meet almost everybody's needs. well worth the price. try it you'll like it!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Excellent product. I purchased this to replace some trashed Mordiheim terrain and it works great.

This is a pretty nice village set, and I can easily see it being very useful for anything from playing Mordheim to dressing up the stage for a roleplaying scenario.

A very good village set. Nice textures, many parts, that can be combined to get a more difersified look.

The floor-tiles included make a very nice battlemat and the props will liven up your village.

On the downside: the models are sometimes a bit to "easy" for my taste - If you look at your typical mediaval house, you will discover many different shapes and add-ons.

Incredibly detailed and flexible product. No need to look anywhere else for any kind of fantasy building card product.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. You just can't find this kind of quality or variety for this price from anybody else (trust me I looked. There is more than eneogh here for beginners and experts alike. And if your not sure visit WorldWorks. They offer free samples from most (if not all) of their sets.
