What a beautiful map! This map features wonderful hand-drawn artwork, while still keeping its very real feel to it.

I love the fact that this not only has a fantastic concept behind it, but it is also MODULAR! You can change it, and make it your own. I was able to add some small strips of various pages to fill a 40x30 area and it went together seemlessly.

On top of all of this, there is even some traps and some fodder... I mean "Gladiators" included, as well. FUNtastic set!

A large (14 x 32 squares) arena surrounded by bleachers (including box seats and space for concessionaires to ply their trades) awaits your fantasy RPG miniatures in this product. The tiles are not modular; you can really only build one layout. The product’s origins in Dundjinni clearly show through: all of the repeated elements are exactly the same, and the shadows are relative to the individual elements, not to a “global” light source (you can perceive both elements most clearly by examining the concession stands). On the other hand, Dramascape has included a textual description of the arena, along with suggestions for traps and such (though there are a number of grammatical and stylistic problems here, and map viewers don’t need to be told that corners are corners). The weaknesses don’t seem terribly significant, though, when you consider the very low price tag. Also, the product includes several “overlay” pieces that change the arena, with suggestions for how to use them, expanding the scope of the product’s usefulness.
