Mirtek said:Well, I never played a homegame with terrain tiles and the RPGA events I played were to 95% played on just a plain battlemat with some lines drawn with a marker (and the 5% when the DM did prepare some printed map or brought terrain tiles I didn't get anything from it that I didn't get from the plain mat with some crudely drawn lines), so I don't see any problem with that.
It is not a "problem" in the sense of what you see. It is a "problem" in the sense that either the adventure writer or the DM running the table will have to probably make out the maps before hand on the VGT. This can be time consuming and some times more time consuming than a simple sketch on a battlemat.
If the RPGA then starts having all their writers only use Dungeon Tiles for their maps to promote compatibility with the VGT, this can become limiting.
If the RPGA is going to start using the VGT, it would be nice if a judge that is going to run the adventure would get an already VGT Converted adventure, instead of having to do all the work on that too.
