We also had a lot of success using the delves as a testing ground for new characters. As new classes, races, powers, feats, and paragon paths become available we’ll create new characters and then try them out using one of the dungeon delves. Not only is it a good change from our ongoing campaign, but it gives us a really good idea of how these new classes work. We’ve already found that some classes sound cool, but in practical game terms don’t behave like we expected them too. The reverse is also true.

Dungeon Delves is a great resource and extremely easy to use. The maps are available for download from the Wizards website (without the monsters appearing) which makes mapping a breeze. I don’t know if Wizards is planning to put out Dungeon Delves 2, but I’d puck it up in a heartbeat.
