The length of one square usually represents one to three meters in the game (yes, that "metric" thingie that some Americans on this board might have heard about...   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   ). This allows us to draw some really huge maps without needing really huge tables...Then we put the map on a styrofoam block and stick pins, which can be bought anywhere where office supplies are sold, into it to markthe position of the characters. PCs get pins with flags to show facing, whilenameless NPC mooks get standard ones. It all works like a charm.Well, what do you think? Can you do it cheaper?   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
