Just cardstock (I use poster board), rulers, and pencils / markers. It won't be a work of art, but it will be useful. I share the reading thing with you, but I am in total envy of your typing speed! Humidity can be a problem, I don't have that issue living on the edge of a desert. On the other hand we haven't seen high temperatures below 100 in a few weeks... Anyway lamination might help. I do it to some of the more used plans to protect them. Not positive on how humidity would impact that.If you don't mind the time you can do some pretty large structures. I have a Lawful cathedral that took multiple 35" x 22" poster boards per level. 5 feet per inch. I have all of my plans on graph paper (at 50 feet per inch). I do the plans in card stock that are frequently used, likely to see combat, or (in some cases) just strike my fancy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> The cathedral involved a wedding, a challenge, and a duel between the Champion (aka best man) and a bounty hunter who was after the (NPC) bride. There was a kidnapping attempt in it as well one time. If you plan properly a limited number of plans can fit numerous buildings too. There are, for example, only so many layouts for homes, shops, warehouses, etc. of a given size. A lot of buildings would be produced to traditional and familiar plans. A dozen or so plans and a few "specials" later and I have the floor plans for most homes of a given size in my major city. I have 5 general sizes for homes (which may include businesses), pretty much all done. With the city on graph paper and the key telling what floor plans I need and the furniture / "dressing" for each. The use of rooms for different purposes and furniture gives you a lot of variation for the time used. The result is, I can lay out most of a mid sized city (population about 17,000). With the bulk of structures covered I can do the big / important specials as needed. The same is true of boats, ships, barges etc., not to speak of sections of dungeon / cavern / forest etc.*edit* for the usual spelling issues and added thoughts / verbal babblings <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
