Very excited.I haven't DM'd in many years. At that time I had all the Paizo gaming maps, all the minis, etc. Sold them all when we moved. Decided this time I will streamline the game, put more emphasis in story telling and less focus (and money) in materials.I plan to use just one map and draw on it. I need your advice on which map. I want it to:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">stay flat</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">be durable</li> </ul>Would prefer but not required:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">double-sided</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">prefer grid only, not hex</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">prefer different terrain on the different sides</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">ease of marker use</li> </ul>I've only used graph paper and Paizo maps, but I can't stand the folds/creases in the Paizo maps. The art is so fantastic, but I can't deal with the creases. The different methods to flatten Paizo maps weren't good enough for me. We will always play at my house so portability is not important. When I used them last I would put them in top-loading poster sleeves (similar to top-loading hard cases for cards). This kept them flat but had other problems I don't want.I am leaning towards the Chessex 24x36 gaming map though I've never seen them used. But will it stay flat? That is my big concern. Is there a different rolled map that you like better for different reasons?Thanks so much for helping this old gamer get his roll back.</blockquote>
