Unlike other sets in the Dungeon Tiles series (Hidden Crypts, Arcane Corridors etc) this set does not match the typical grey tile style of the others. This set has a more Egyptian, pyramid, feel to it. With several sarcophagi, steps, skeletons and other "tomblike" elements.
The tiles are yellow in colour, and so they do not match seamlessly with the earlier sets. Also the set is lacking the usual 8 squares by 10 squares sized tiles which act as the centre for most rooms (instead there are several 8 x 8 square tiles).
However despite these little problems, the "Dire Tombs" set is still very useful. Great for giving a dungeon a different feel to the constant grey of the earlier sets, and there are some brilliant tiles within (such as the throne at the top of a set of stairs, great for any climatic Mummy Lord combat!)

This is the first item in this series I've bought, so I can't compare it against earlier releases. The card pieces are thick and well made, and the cover has some sample layouts. The pieces have a desert/Egyptian tomb theme, and are quite sandy yellow in colour. I think this colour is slightly different to other releases which have a more classic dungeon theme.

The best of the Dungeon Tiles yet available
4 Feb 2008
Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've purchased all of the dungeon tile sets and this is my favorite one so far. Unlike the underdark set, this set contains a lot of nice big rooms - something I really need for a good encounter. It also contains far fewer small pieces - pieces I rarely use.
Because the color of these tiles are unique, you may want to purchase more than one set. They won't work too well with the other sets so you'll want plenty of pieces to build whatever dungeon you want.
The best way I have found to use these tiles is with a large poster board and some poster sticky putty. Sit down at a nice big table, lay out your dungeon on the poster board, and when you have it where you like it, use the putty to stick it to the board. Change it around whenever you wish and be sure it won't shift on you while you're actually playing.
Within a day I had a nice dungeon built and an entire scenario written around an ancient tomb cracked open by a vile snake cult. I can't wait to play it out.
After figuring out my poster board trick, I'm now a lot happier with dungeon tiles than I was previously. I recommend the purchase.

Another great DMing tool
9 Jan 2008
Format:Board book
This is the third set of Dungeon Tiles I've gotten and this is my favorite one so far. While the other tile sets I've seen are fairly generic in terms of dungeon dressing, this one throws in things like skeletons, mummies and coffins. Good for a quick dungeon crawl you throw together.

Just what the DM ordered
2 Jan 2008
Format:Board book
Dire Tombs is a great addition to a DM's arsenal of props and tools for the tabletop D&D game. If you liked the other tiles in this series you will enjoy and make great use of these.
Of particular note: This set is a different color than all the previous grey stone colored tiles. These are a desert tan kind of color offering an exploring the pyramid kind of feel.
