More Random Asides

Another question for other Dungeons and Dragons players out there. What do you guys use for your battlegrid? I suppose this could apply to any other type of miniatures game as well. My group and I have been through innumerate different ways, large sheaves of paper with hand drawn grids, but those took too long, the official tiles are pretty expensive, and we like big BIG maps, I think we had a whiteboard at one point but grid that was even worse than the papers. What have you guys found that works? I've heard there are some whiteboard grids out there custom tailored to us, though I've yet to see them.

  1. My friends have always constructed their own on large sheets of paper. It provides the most customizability.

  2. I wish I could help with giving you advice/indea in response, but I don't play.
    I hope you find some good input from people who do play though.

  3. Obviously the battle mats seem like the best choice, if you're willing to drop $30-$40 on a decent sized one.

    We could be hardcore and get a slab of stone and engrave our D&D map out of that. THE DWARVEN WAY.

    What about a chalkboard? You could carve the grid into it, and then just erase it away. And chalk is cheap. Kind of limits your possibilities, and smudging might be an issue.

    But if the DM rolls a 20, you could scrape your nails across the board for dramatic effect.
