Works quite well with wizard products such as DU2 Streets of shadown and City of Peril.

5 of 5 for art

Art is fantastic hits the location spot on the players have no questions as to where they are if you place them on this map.

4 of 5 user friendliness

These are on card stock not heavy card like dungeon tiles so you will need to tape the four parters together or have grip mat to place them on.

3 of 5 material

Card stock is easily marked and will slide with the slightest of nudges.

5 of 5 location

It always annoys me that all adventures have to be staged in 2 by 3 square halls underground.
I have had more than one thief chased threw a slum market.
this is an item you want for your adventures if your a visal gamer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
