Some of the best 3d printed tiles. inexpensive, easy to print (no support needed), free updateds to sets, if needed, great community support. You cannot go wrong these.

Excellent product. Creates a great outline for a dungeon that begs to be detailed. Beats the hell out of hand-drafting dungeon maps on graph paper.

I'm a first time buyer of card modeling materials. I bought this set because I knew I could use some of the props for my next session. The models were quick to set up, and solid once built (I used 67 pound card stock paper). They add a lot of color and depth to my scenes with a minimum amount of effort. Instructions are easy to interpret. I've already bought the Star Tiles set to prep for my next campaign.

Though not quite the texture quality of some other products these are still very wonderful. The props included are useful and versatile. And though the textures are not elaborate the grid lines are very clear and easy to see from the other side of the gaming table.

Instead of drawing on a mat you can lay out the pieces as they enter that room or their light source reveals it. Stops meta-gaming in its tracks. And if you run out of pieces simply hit print and you have more at hand.

I’m a very visual person. When I game I enjoy having a tabletop full of miniatures and props. Back in my early gaming days that meant a Chessex battle map and painted lead miniatures and whatever props we could scrounge up from toy bins and such. Now in the age the Internet it’s possible to obtain high quality props to dress up your gaming table for less than you would think. One of the newest players in the paper miniature market is Fat Dragon Games. They have an impressive line of paper miniature sets for a variety of genres from classic fantasy, four-color superhero, and golden age pulp to science fiction. They offer both printed two dimensional tiles as well as full 3 dimensional paper models, and all of their individual products are priced under $15.00 (My personal cut-off point for ANY type of PDF product). Today I’m gonna write about their latest offering: Dragon Tiles. Dragon Tiles (Dungeon set 1 & 2) combine the best of both worlds, 2D tile sets with 3D props. There are currently two sets in the line and are priced at a very reasonable $7.99 I started by printing off a few sheets from set 1 and set 2. The pages printed up very nicely and had a rich color to them. I was very pleased with their appearance. I’m very much a novice at building paper models, but I knew enough to have the proper tools at hand (X-acto knives, cutting board, metal ruler, glue stick pen, etc.) so that if my results were less than satisfactory I couldn’t be blamed for lacking the proper tools. I decided to start with a bookcase and a small crate. The crate came out okay- I blame myself, lack of experience mostly; I should have started with a larger piece and then graduated to the smaller ones as I became more skillful at the process. The bookcase however came out wonderfully. I then assembled a table, a doorway and a few chairs, and all came out rather well.

Now be advised- paper modeling is not something to be rushed. It’s a Zen kinda thing. Play some nice music, have a beverage and relax, take your time and enjoy the creative process. You can’t rush this kind of thing and expect to get optimum results. You can’t start to build a dungeon at 4:00pm and have it ready when the guys show up to play at 6:00pm. But if you follow the instructions, use the proper tools, and take your time- you will have very impressive results. I give the Dragon Tiles sets a hearty two thumbs up!

I have to say that I absolutely love these! The new format that Fat Dragon has gone to with 8" wide tiles lets you build more dungeon with less tiles, which translates into quicker set-up and more game play. One of the great things I do is lay out the entire level, then turn the cards face down. I can then turn them over as the players come to them and add the 3D elements, which the players really love.
