It feels a bit cramped, and I was a bit disappointed at first that there weren't many rooms and tunnels.
However, the fact that walls can be added with dry-erase marker to create complicated, twisting caves puts the map in a new light. Still feels a bit cramped on the busy side, but the flip side is sparse enough to make up for it, and dry-erase can add more complexity where needed.
I expect this will get used in a variety of different ways for my gaming group.
Very versatile and atmospheric - highly recommended!
I have most of Paizo's flip mats, and this is one of my favourites. Both sides of the mat are very atmospheric. Side 1 features an iconic narrow bridge over a yawning chasm, with raised ledges, a small pool, and branching tunnels. Don't want a bridge in your scene? Just black it out with a dry erase marker. The reverse side, which features natural walls and pillars, is very versatile. You can use it as is, or easily add in additional contours of your own, taking advantage of some pre-set features which reduce the DM's work load. The shades on both sides of the mat are great. Highly recommended!
This flip mat is an excellent resource for any adventure st in the underground wilderness.
The tunnels side, with its split areas and connecting passage/rocky bridge, is great for a spectacular battle or a tactically challenging encounter, thanks to a number of elements such as the pool, side alcoves and raised platforms.
Moreover it can be used as a wholly drawn-out map or just with each of its main areas.
The generic cavern side features rocky pillars, useful for cover, surprise attacks, ambushes and a lot more, and is useful for an endless number of possibilities.
The sturdy card stock and lamination provide a durable and good looking gaming aid.
Recommended not only for the Second Darkness AP, but for any climatic battle or side trek set in a cave complex.
