My Husband, Jonathan Singleton, and I now own the Countryside and Village Map Packs. They are excellent for game play. They are also VERY sturdy once they are taped together and set into place.
We use the TacTile dry erase boards for most of our mapping, but we had to face the fact that sometimes drawing out all that stuff is just too tedious and time consuming, especially if we want detail. Then we discover the Map Packs!!! We can't wait to collect the others. I would be VERY excited to see a set come out that gives us maps of CAVERNS!! Jonathan and I "hate" drawing out caverns. Plus, add more maps to the existing packs. More villages, more countryside, etc.
The GameMastery line is FABulous!!!
I think the Item cards are wonderful. They're perfect aids in helping with the visualization of gameplay. I have drawn items in the past for our games just so that there is some sort of representation and now we have these beautifully illustrated cards with durable backs to write notes upon, erase and reuse. I'm very excited to see the new sets coming out.
I did notice within the first sets "Hero's Hoarde" that there were some items that had a theme running through them. I think that's a FANTASTIC idea. It would be even more special if there were whole sets of armor, weapons, rings, amulets, cloaks that carried the theme. Sort of like "these things were made by this dwarven weaponsmith" or "these potions/wands/scrolls were created by this elven sorceror". Something that could be used for a plot or to build a game around.
I applaud Sean Glenn for this product and I hope the packs continue.
