I love dungeon tiles. Love them. Maybe all those 4e sessions have gotten to my brain, but I own both the original dungeon tile sets and the "reincarnated" ones. They are brilliant for any sort of combat encounter … as long as you prepare it ahead of time.
One thing with which I still struggle is using them for spontaneous combat encounters. When your players unexpectedly kick down the door to the local sheriff's office, you just know that you have the perfect combination of "city" and "dungeon" tiles to map out that office and the adjacent prison … if only you could find them among your gigantic unorganized pile of cardboard. It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't also have to turn over every single tile to see whether that specific grate you remember owning might be on the flip side.
Other dungeon tile users, how do you organize your tiles for quick access?
