Fantasyscape: Labyrinth of the Scorpion Cult is a 23 page pdf of 2D terrain tiles for your fantasy roleplaying game. This product is one of several products in the Fantasyscape series, and offers 20 unique tiles to bring your gaming table to life by providing easy-to-print high quality tiles for your table maps. Each product in the series offers both unique tiles and unique locations, and to a certain extent tiles from different sets can be combined to create even larger or more complex structures. In particular, this set is very suitable for use with the Lair of the Scorpion Cult set. Each tile is 6 by 6 squares.

The product comes as a single pdf files. The cover page presents a snap-shot view of all the tiles in the product, offering a good view of the contents and to a certain extent the page number of any given tile based on its allocated number which roughly agrees with page number. Included as well is a very useful page of sample constructions from the set on a smaller scale, giving you a set of good examples on how to get the best out of this set. Tile artwork is generally very good, although none of the tiles offer any form of customization. Objects and features on the tiles are fairly easy to distinguish, providing clear-cut images of each tile so that they're ready to use from just a quick glance. Overall, the presentation is fairly simple, but functional, making the pdf easy to use and print.

Labyrinth of the Scorpion Cult presents a set of tiles aimed at creating mazes and complex passageways and structures using the Scorpion Cult theme. Most tiles in this set have the image of a scorpion present somewhere on the tile, which creates good flavor but at the same time limits the overall usefulness of this set when trying to combine it with others. In a way it would've been better to let the objects or structures reflect aspects of the scorpion better so that the majority of tiles could still be seamlessly used with other sets. Objects and typical structures within the tiles include pits, pools of water, fire pits, altars, braziers, pillars, fountains and more. Again none of these seem particularly scorpion-related. I wonder if the product wouldn't have been better served offering at least the customization to remove the scorpion if desired.

There's a very good combination of tiles present in this pdf, with a handy selection of rooms and different corridor intersections. Despite the fact that the rooms are nominally 6 by 6 squares, the objects and pillars often take up quite a bit of the space, meaning that most of the tiles will be fairly crowded once a battle breaks out. This can be both a tactical challenge, or perhaps frustrating to those involved. The theme of the scorpion is carried fairly well throughout the set with the scorpion on most tiles, although as mentioned earlier, the rest of the structures are not particularly related to the theme.

Overall I think this set offers a good selection of unique tiles, with good variety and generally good value, although with the lack of customization you really need to be interested in using the scorpion theme to make the most use of these tiles. This in itself is not a bad thing, since that is after all the theme of the product. Artwork is good and clear, although rooms can get fairly crowded. It's possible to build fairly elaborate structures and mazes with this product, and confusing ones as well if you're aiming to use a lot of tile repetition. Labyrinth of the Scorpion Cult is a good value set, very functional, with useful tiles and good artwork.
