[QUOTE="Duncan Haldane, post: 4774, member: 514"] I use a magnetic whiteboard at home for much of my gaming. A few weeks ago I bought counter collection 1, and some sheet magnets. Then I glued the sheet magnet to the counters, then cut up the counters. They worked great on the whiteboard. The whiteboard was placed flat on the coffee table. We had an initiative countdown on one side, and I'd printed off a number of 1" grid sheets. Then when the party found a room I would draw the room to 5'=1" on the paper, and place that on the whiteboard. Counter would then be placed on the paper for the monsters, with the minis for the PCs. It worked really well. Inits were put next to the numbers on the side of the whiteboard. I could make markings on the whiteboard. The paper was discarded after use. Since then I've been thinking about doing up 1" grid room maps for rooms in modules to print out before the game and take with me - it was really good being that accurate. Duncan [/QUOTE]
