[QUOTE="magumbasauce, post: 7907218, member: 7020447"] Came across this thread searching for info on using other types of grids in D&D and thought I would add some info that would hopefully be helpful, seeing as there is already some great info here! So i have several options available and use a variety of things, some of which are included above so i won't repeat those. But what brought me here was I picked up the Patreon for [URL='https://www.patreon.com/thedragonsrest']Dragon's Rest[/URL]. Both that and the [URL='http://www.fatdragongames.com/fdgfiles/']Dragon Lock[/URL] systems are for 3D printing, so having that opens up quite a few options (if you don't have, you can have them printed, but that's not the main point of this thread or the OP's request). MY point here is: Both said 28mm scale for tabletop, but DR's is 1.5" squares, but DL's is 1" squares. So I was like: huh?? (i've always really seen 1" squares or grid...) What I wanted to share was for running my current game, I also use Realm Works. Luckily, i am running it at my FLGS and am friends with the owner (who is also in the game), and they have a normal drop ceiling.
