[QUOTE="weem, post: 4883582, member: 9470"] Hey all, My wife and I are currently nearing the end of the process of buying a new home (we move in August 29th). So as you might guess, that meant many visits to places like Home Depot. Anyway, I was looking through paint samples and of course D&D came to mind. In our games, we usually use markers (pens) to draw out area of effect... areas (I draw the corners of these areas usually). In my friend's campaign he bought transparencies and cut them to shape... but those cost money of course and are flimsy. BUT, these paint samples are FREE! (I suppose that's debatable as they would not let me take ALL of them I'm sure - but they encourage you to take as much as you want - they get boxes sent to them and dish them out without a care). Anyway, you only need a few of each color you may want...

So yea, mark em up with a ruler and pen with 1" squares and cut em out to the size you want (1x1, 2x2, 3x3)...
