This new line from Skeleton Key kicks off with a great, concise map. Much like the Sewer Challenge that Ed released earlier, this product provides a single, evocative setting for you to use as a unique environment.
Unlike most other SKG products these tiles don't join together in multiple ways, but in exchange for less flexibility you get interestingly-shaped, extensively "decked out" environments. As an added bonus, the tiles are provided as a single image for either large-format printing or online (e.g. OpenRPG) use. Personally, I think the detail level is quite good and I appreciate being able to give my players a more "special" feel to an encounter area than the regular tiles allow.
I highly recommend this map so long as you have some flexibility in the environments you use (as in, you aren't trying to recreate published-module maps) and/or you know you want to take your players into a sewer-y, dungeon-y, waterfall-y locale sometime.
