I use WOTC DTs, printed .pdf tiles, Flipmats w/dry erase, scanned and printed module maps and Dundjinni printed maps all as time and need allows. Right now I am using WOTC DTs and .pdfs printed tiles the most.I made some 26x40 foamcore play boards (4 of them). 26" so that you have 11" on each side for paper and books on a 48" wide table. I can put 2 long ways or 3 wide ways on a 4x8 table plus GM area. I covered the foamcore with the rubber like covering you use for carpets on a hardwood floor. You can get it a Home Depot in big sheets. I just cut it and wraped it arount the foamcore and taped in down on the backside.This makes for a non-slide surface for your tiles. I make setups on the 4 boards before the sesions and bring them out as needed. I use black construction paper for Fog of War. You set up on the go as well.One big problem was tiles sliding on tiles for the extras, like doors and such. I hated this. So, I experimented and the best stuff I found is poster puddy. You can get it at Target. A super small amount sticks the pieces down and I've left it on for 3-4 days at a time and no residue or tearing. Works great and is reuable.That's how I've been doing it lately. I have a ton of WoTC tiles, 2-5 of each set. I have found that my players have really been enjoying them so I keep using them in combo with the printed tiles which are more versitale but more work at the start with the printing and cutting. I just use printer cardstock for them and cut them out.For organizing the WoTC tiles, I organize them by similiar sets in big zip lock bags. In each main bag I seperate them out by size for the most part in to smaller bags, combining them in to what seems logical groupings to me. This way I can get them quickly and the sets that work together are already together. I've found this way to be the quickest for set up and putting them away.</blockquote>
