@@the_minimal_dmHere is a general list. Obviously, I am not trying to put you to task on this but here might be some decent ideas ( you don't have to do all if them but here are what I like in reviews). Material Quality Durability: Are the walls sturdy? Will they withstand regular use during gameplay, especially if you're handling them frequently? Finish: Are the walls well-painted, if they come pre-painted? Are there any visible defects or rough patches? Design and Aesthetic Artistic Style: Do the dungeon walls have a consistent design that fits well with traditional D&D settings, or do they provide a unique twist on classic dungeon aesthetics? Customization: Can the pieces be painted or modified? Are they versatile enough for different types of dungeon environments? Modularity and Compatibility Assembly and Setup: Are the walls easy to assemble or fit together? Can they be repositioned and reorganized to create different convincing dungeon layouts? Versatility: How well do the pieces integrate with other miniatures, terrain, or accessories? Is it easy to expand or combine with other dungeon wall sets? Size: Are the walls scaled correctly for standard D&D miniatures, and are they large enough to make an impact on the game board? Ease of Use Portability: Are the walls lightweight and easy to store, or are they bulky and cumbersome? Setup Time: How long does it take to set up and tear down the dungeon walls? Is it easy to create a dungeon on the fly, or does it require a lot of effort and planning? Functionality in Gameplay Visibility: How clear is the line of sight with the walls when seated at a table? Do they line up with 1 inch grid standards? Price and Value Cost: How does the price compare to other dungeon wall options available in the market? Bang for Your Buck: Given the material, design, and functionality, does the set offer good value for money? Packaging and Delivery Condition Upon Arrival: Did the product arrive intact, or were there issues with damage during shipping? Packaging: Did the packaging include any instructions or other helpful materials? Customer Reviews and Reputation Feedback: If available, what do other customers say about the set? Are there common complaints or praises? Overall Impression Suitability for Different Campaigns: How well do these dungeon walls fit different types of D&D campaigns (e.g., classic fantasy, horror, sci-fi)? In your review, you might want to a provide visual comparisons with other dungeon walls to give context.
@the_minimal_dm3 күн бұрын
Phew! Thanks for that list, definitely a lot to bear in mind when doing product reviews, but you are bang on that those are going to be the kind of things that a consumer would be looking for. (I'm almost inclined to print this out as a bible for any other product reviews I do ;-) )

That green part is only in the picture and it’s supposed to go on the spring part underneath. I bought one and I think I’m going to throw it away because it’s a safety hazard to not have an off switch. I’m not about to get burnt trying this thing. lol. I only paid $4 so I’m not losing much.
@the_minimal_dm8 ай бұрын
LOL, that's what I get for letting the kids assemble something... I certainly hear what you are saying about the off switch, and unclipping to turn it off is a hassle. I've also noted the wood warping underneath where the bottom spring attaches which is effecting the tension. But as you say, it's cheap enough, and at 6 volts only, its not like it's going to electrocute me with the lack of a power switch, and the burn is going to be less than if I slip with my hot wire knife. At least it can do straight cuts which I only do rarely and the knife can't really cope with.
