Usually we use dice to represent monsters but have slowly started to migrate to the Harbinger - Dragoneye monster minis (I refuse to buy blind boxes with those trashy personalities that I never use so, instead, get specifically what I need from the secondary markets such as ebay or PopularComics...I love most of the monster minis).In addition to wet-erase we have a nice box of 1" cubes of wood (bought at Michaels, a local craft store...hrmm maybe it is in other cities) that can quickly be made into most any structure that is straight (if it can't we use the markers to draw in what cannot be easily defined with the blocks) and dominos provide doors as needed.If battles are larger than what our already large mat can handle, we rollover to a nice whiteboard (which is also used to write down names and other important information).Index cards are a godsend for tracking initiative and other modifiers (I actually print out full monster stats on 3" x 5" cards so when the monster's turn is up I don't have to look elsewhere for any numbers.If I feel like setting dungeon mood, we turn off lights and play by candlelight instead. A bit harder to read numbers that way, but does add a certain ambiance to the game.</blockquote>
