[QUOTE="Jeff Wilder, post: 4907454, member: 5122"] Lemme see, I have: * Several battemats, including the primary one that is about 84" by 36". This is what we use 90 percent of the time at the game table. * Every Flip-Mat yet published. I love these for any kind of play while traveling, and also for the scenes while not traveling. It's best to take care not to overuse the locations, or players will begin to joke about it. * Two copies of every set of Dungeon Tiles yet published. I rarely to never use these. They are an organizational nightmare, and the tool to build maps in advance is clunky and buggy and no longer officially supported, as far as I know. * Easel pads. I really, really like these for large set-piece encounters, and for generic locations like "in the middle of the woods." In the latter case, I try to laminate the pages after drawing them out in colored marker. Whether I do that for the former cases depends on what I think re-use utility will be. * A couple of sets of GameMastery tiles (Campsites and Caravans). These are good, but extremely circumstantial. They have some of the same problems at the Dungeon Tiles, with the addition that they aren't as modular. (I.e., each set really works best if you build exactly as intended.) * Several sets of MasterMaze. I only use these for climactic encounters. The visual impact is amazing. Setup and storage is horrible. [/QUOTE]
