FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Muddy Road, really Paizo?
Reviewer: lastknightleft

Two tiles that have essentially nothing on them, just dirty looking tiles, no thanks. This pack does fail to live up to expectations, if the title had been run down village or ghost town, I could actually see it, as slums I have to side with other reviewers who say they fail to capture the feel of high density urban living. That isn't to say that they aren't beautifully produced and easy to look at, but they really just aren't slums. And then those arrows to tell you hey this goes here, how annoying, nothing says immersive like opaque arrows on the scene.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Thin cardstock disappints
Reviewer: 0gre

I really would expect something a little more substancial than this the cards are quite thin. The art is good but not AMazing. I do much prefer the standardized sides of the tiles. The tiles from wotc are all different sizes making putting stuff together a bit of a mess. I'm probably going to spray glue these to some thicker stock.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Not fun enough...
Reviewer: David Harriss

One of my favorite gaming moments was a fight in a slum. One of the PCs toppled a ramshackle shelter atop three of the thugs attacking him, while another PC was blinded by a face full of mud scooped from the street and hurled by a different thug.

Nothing about these tiles inspires that sort of creative fun. They're very boring and static locations that happen to have more holes than the rest of the town. Much weaker than the rest of this (excellent) product line.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Not slummy enough
Reviewer: Zuxius

Though I will say that these slummish homes look ragged, I think that is what one would expect in medieval times of the peasantry. Overall, I was not particularly happy with the upscale look, and not too excited to see another market ( I have flipmats for markets anyway). At least from a bird's eye view, these slums appear standard middle age stuff. I was hoping to see true poverty. The only thing I can recommend to Map Packs as a line is to create pop out Map Packs called Object Packs. At least then, I could throw in more slum into the slum pack.

Having been in several old cities that were around in the middleages and before, I nticed how close all the buildings were. I've noticed on many of the recient maps that the city buildings all have nice yards and are not all crammed together.

I've also been through true slums in Panama city and Kirkuk and once again, everything is crammed in so close that their are bearly any alleyways at all.

This slum map looks more like a local fair at a park with its stands and tents.

ASEO out

I'm with ASEO, many of the "slums" I've been through in Mexico are a lot more tightly packed than these maps. If a typical alley in the city is 20ft wide then there should be structures eating up 15 of those feet and a 5ft path wending its way through. I know the guys are trying to make a place where an encounter could feasibly happen but some of those aren't it.

If possible find a aerial or even satellite image of a medieval city (in germany, italy, or any of the former eastern block countries) or even a really tightly packed modern city in south america or the middle east and look at any markets and shanty towns there for examples.

Urban mapping is very tough...

It wouldn't be that hard to make your own "alley fillers". Probably would be fun, too.
