Insider also comes with a map-building tool, a dungeon cartography set with numerous tiles that you can easily drag and drop onto the dungeon grid. Initial tiles include basic walls, doors, pits, and popular variants like walls of fire and spike pits. More tiles will become available as the product line goes on. There's also a simple-to-use sketching tool, so you can doodle something on the fly if needed. Most of these tiles are also 3D, so when you're done building your dungeon you can turn it into a more visually interesting 3D one for your players.
The tiles revolve around the key feature of Insider: the ability to play digitally. In the maps you've assembled, players can manipulate virtual miniatures, make their dice rolls, and play the tactical level of D&D almost as easily as if you were all in one room together. With integrated voice and text chat, the program becomes an easy-to-use, centralized solution for playing D&D without having to get an entire group into one room.
