Battle grid suggestion

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

We took the battle grid out of the back of the DMG and had it laminated. You can use wet erase markers on it this way. We have been using Vis-a-Vis overhead pens for this. However, this isn't completely satisfying because you can't make heavy lines, so dungeon walls, etc., don't stand out very well. I went looking for wet erase markers with bigger tips. I couldn't find any that were designed for overheads, so I thought I'd take a look in the kids art supplies section, just in case.

Long story short, I bought some Crayola brand "Window MEGA Markers." They work like a charm! Not only are the lines nice and bold, the ink also dries better and cleans up easier than the overhead pens.

I suggest their use to anyone who uses a laminated battle grid.

I'd also suggest looking into Staedtler Lumocolor pens. They're wet-erase, come in a variety of colors, and if you look online or in a drafting shop, you should be able to find them with varying thicknesses, from super-fine, to 1-inch wedge-point tips.

They're definitely my favorite pens, even if they are slightly more expensive. Oh, and they're refillable.
