Upgrade Your MD2 Game with Original Tiles

Quick answer

The Massive Darkness MD2 Original Tiles Set adds 15 double-sided tiles that replace or supplement the core game board, giving you fresh layouts and more variety per session.

How to integrate the Original Tiles into your MD2 campaign

1. 1. Sort tiles by type: Lay out all 15 tiles and group them by shape (large rooms, corridors, small chambers). Note which side has the artwork you want for each encounter. Common mistake: mixing two large room tiles that don't align door openings. Check the printed door icons before placing.
2. 2. Replace core tiles one at a time: During setup, swap one or two core tiles with Original Tiles of the same shape. For example, replace the core's large hall tile with a new double-sided version. This keeps the scenario layout intact while changing the visual feel. Checkpoint: ensure the replacement tile has matching connection points (doors, walls) so the map remains playable without gaps.
3. 3. Combine tiles for a custom dungeon: Use the Original Tiles to build a completely custom dungeon for a one-shot session. Arrange them in any order, then add monsters and loot from the core box. This works best for experienced groups who don't need a printed scenario. Common mistake: creating a map that is too large for the recommended 1-6 player count. Stick to 4-6 tiles for a balanced 90-minute session.
4. 4. Store tiles safely: Keep the Original Tiles in the core box's tile tray or in a separate zip bag. Avoid stacking heavy rulebooks on top of them, as the cardboard can warp over time. Checkpoint: if tiles show edge wear, apply a thin layer of clear nail polish to the corners to prevent peeling.
