PUBLISHER: WIZKID GAMES | RELEASE DATE: OUT NOW
One of the more interesting aspects of the Wizkids Warlock Range is how they want to give the tabletop gaming experience the full works. It’s not enough simply to map out a typical dungeon or castle layout with detailed plastic pieces, they also want to do the same for things such as kitchens and taverns, allowing a canny Dungeon Master to create whole worlds if they wish.
The third wave of expansions for Wizkid’s Warlock Town and Village features two separate boxed expansions, curves and angles. Much like the similar expansion for the Dungeon Tiles series, each box contains either curved or angular wall pieces to make your buildings more interesting. Unlike the Dungeon expansion, the potential uses are a little bit different; Taverns, Blacksmiths and so typically don’t have twisty corridors and other zones useful for death traps to lure your adventurers into, but we don’t know what your campaign is like.
What it is really good for is making pleasingly circular huts and floors for towers and the like, or weird little cubby holes for a blacksmith to store his weapons (and for the DM to hide a horde of goblins in the back).
As always, these slot together well and are designed to allow you to make pretty much any map layout you want. Combined with earlier sets this can be pleasing in itself; like putting together LEGO or doing a jigsaw. When combined with actual tabletop gaming it’s very, very satisfying.
