There really is only 5 pieces and there isn't an infinite chamber you can make with them. Not what I was looking for.

I recently tried out this Master Tile and two competing products, Empty Room's tiles and Fat Dragon's EZTiles. All three make use of the technology to drop down elements onto your PDF tiles.

This set is "only" five tiles, less than the competition. I found it just as useful, however, since these guys have thought of one more wrinkle than the others. One of the things I can do with this set is remove the walls AND THE FLOOR TILES FOLLOW SUIT. Let me explain further. The base tile of all five of these tiles is a 6x6 tile full of floor. When I turn the walls on and off, the wall comes in at, say, the upper left corner, cutting off the four top left squares. Unlike the competition, who give me set shapes, I can use the set shape created by adding the walls, or just make a 6x6 tile with the same additions (platforms, arcane runes, bars/porctilli, etc.) in any combination.

I could be wrong, but I feel like I get more "cool items" to turn on and off on the master tiles than I do with the other two. Playing with tile 2, for example, I can make a before and after trap with a dunk into an acid pool, a recessed floor area with a void orb and piping (the macguffin for the heroes to destroy?), an L-shaped chamber with or without bars, or many other combination.

I do feel that SkeletonKey's art is a bit more cartoony(?) or early D&D-ey, primitive and a little abtracted. Take a look at all their cool E-adventure tiles. If those are great art for your purposes, then ignore my qualms. If it looks a little cheesy or abstracted, then you might think about experimenting a great deal with this product before you lash out for any of the sequels.

POSITIVE: Most flexible, combines well with other SK products

NEGATIVE: slight cartoony quality to the art.

I've found a second wish to follow 'all eFuture tiles to include printable thumbnails for map planning': 'All tiles converted to Master Tiles!'

Fickle folk that we are, some of us love the tiles as we get them, some want all furnishings removed, or square-conforming, or just remove the movable items like crates, or, or, or...

With Abobe Layers properly thought out and drawn, the variations aren't just different optional items, they can be ways to create different styles.

Excellent!

Did I mention I want it right now?

The Infinite Chamber tile set provides just 5 tiles... but they are extremely versatile! Four have an external wall, one being a corner and another showing a passage leading off, while the fifth tile shows the centre of the room complete with a hole or pit. Go into 'layers' mode and the fun begins. I can play with this for hours - making shelves appear and disappear, choose a pool or an arcane rune to decorate the floor, even change the levels, remove or replace steps... the possibilities are endless.

It gives you an extremely flexible approach. Rather than picking the 'best fit' of available tiles to suit the floorplan you want, or even finding your floorplan first and then writing the room description, you can fine-tune quality tiles to your precise needs... it's almost as good as having a tile artist at your beck and call when designing your adventure!

If you like quality floorplans which reflect what you want there, this is a useful addition to your collection of tiles.

Always great quality & stunning visuals from SK, and this product is free!

While it isn't 'infinite', this new system certainly would make an interesting feature; its much like Oones' Rule the Dungeon feature, where you can activate or deactivate certain details.

Surprisingly complete for a free introduction. This new series "Master Tiles" by Skeletonkey Games is pretty slick. I love their regular tiles, but the endless variety that the layering gives you is pretty incredible.

Combined with the "Preilous Passages" and "Vampires Den" and you have an excellent starter set for under ten dollars. Each set looks like it has too few tiles for the price until you start playing with them. Using the Layers and Mirror Image printing you can pretty much make most dungeons that you want.

Like: Artwork and Clarity. The great flexibility of the set.

Dislike: The tables could have a little more variety, though I suspect the limitting factor is the number of layers available.

Satisfaction: Very High

This product is easily worth $5, and it demonstrates what fine products SkeletonKey Games makes. With some patience you can create a very large map for your players.
