Dungeon Masters are always seeking new and exciting ways to engage their players on the tabletop. The miniature and map component of your role playing experience has come a long way since graph paper and pencils, and now can be as detailed, yet as simple, as is possible. Entre Tenfold Dungeon; fully immersive, straight out of the box terrain for your RPG and dungeon crawling experiences. Time to up your game with minimal work and maximum payout!

Rather than a mat with stuff on top, these Tenfold Dungeon boxes add another level to the adventure by looking, and playing, more like the miniatures are actually immersed in the setting. Obviously these can be enhanced with terrain and various scenic elements, but the overall enhancement that comes from having detailed walls and rooms is profound.

Boasting a large number of locales to choose from, each Tenfold Dungeon box comes with a complete setting, brilliantly realized and infinitely modifiable to your every need. With environments like; The Castle, The Underdark, The Town, The Wizard’s Sanctum, Ravenhold Castle and The Mines of Khazad, players and DM’s alike are spoiled for choice right from the start.

While this review focuses on the fantasy boxes, there are a series of science fiction themed ones as well. Possibly we will get around to looking at those in a later article. For now, there is plenty to talk about. The settings, regardless of genre, are all well conceived and beautifully executed.

Each boxed set comes with an assortment of rooms (usually 12) as well as various extras like doors, rubble piles, ladders, stairs and spell effects, to name but a few. Additionally, each set comes with a large assortment of plastic clips, usable for attaching the aforementioned doors and room sections together.

The room sections are amazingly detailed and usable as a room with walls or a raised area, as they are printed on both sides with a 1″ x 1″ grid. The design is lightweight and compact, easy to set up and easy to take down. As each set is basically a bunch of nesting boxes, the complete encounter, including models and dice and such could be easily stored in the collected box.

The depth of assorted rooms in each box is also quite captivating, leading the player to the realization that with multiple boxes, the sky is the limit for the settings that can be created. Honestly, I was uncertain of the value of this product before I opened the box, but after a quick play around it became apparent that the upgrade to my gaming experience was totally worth it.

Every serious Dungeon Master could benefit from this sort of additional setting package, which allows for almost instant set up in a mind-numbing assortment of locations. Players can be kept constantly on their toes with little to no extra effort, leaving the Dungeon Master free to spend time on the elements of the adventure that need their actual attention, safe in the knowledge that their tabletop looks great, every time.
