[QUOTE="Krail Stromquism, post: 1062407, member: 2400"] If you have the room, build your own! for about 20 bucks you can make a kick ass 8x4 grided table top! $8 for a 8x4 piece of tile board, preferably white. $8-12 for Clear Contact Paper $2-3 for sharpies. now this is a real simple version. draw a grid on the tile baord with the sharpies, then carefully cover it with the clear contact paper, which really isnt paper at all its palstic. once you do that. you can write on it with dry erase markers! HUZZAH! Now if your cruisin around home depot you could always pick up a 1/2 inch peice of partical board and some 2x4s and make a real life table! that may be too much commitment or too much for your wives/girlfriends to handle. The tile board itself is only 1/4 to an 1/8 inch thick so itll have to go on top of some pre-existing tables. it will be very light, one person could muscle it from the dinner table to the garage very easliy. 1/4 plywoods a bit heavier but we D&Ders need to excersize too. at $8 a pop for the tile board and a little time put in on the grid you can afford to do some different things. You can buy different color tile board for different terrain. Brown, green or even blue or black. Sharpie makes a Silver marker now that would make a cool grid for blue or black. Also, a tip for marker accidents, remember: A dry erase marker will take off Permanent marker! just scribble on top of the perm marker and wait a sec and wipe off. I havent tried that on a battle mat though. but it works on the tile board, dry erase boards, floor tile, refridgerators and jsut about anything else. word [/QUOTE]
