[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5158687, member: 13703"] I have both a Crystal Caste vinyl battlemat and 3 Paizo Flip-Mats. I bought the vinyl map about 8 years ago and used it a bit in my games. However, about 4 years ago I bought 2 Paizo Flip-Mats. Since I bought the Flip-Mats, the vinyl battlemat has not come out once. Although the Flip-Mats are smaller, they are big enough for most of the encounters or dungeons that I run. A few times I have run some larger urban encounters. On those occasions I just joined 2 of the Flip-Mats together. For me the biggest advantage of the Flip-Mat is that I can use dry-erase markers, rather than wet-erase. The Flip-Mat also doesn't seem to stain like the wet-erase mats would. On top of that, the ability to fold the Flip-Mat up for storage is also useful. I found that once you use them a few times there is little issue with the Flip-Mat having creases in it. And as for wear and tear, it is only been in the last few months, after fortnightly use, that one of my Flip-Maps has started to delaminate a little on one of the edges. It is still very usable in its current state, but I figured I would buy another one now to replace it since they don't cost much at all. So definitely put me in the Flip-Mat camp. Vinyl battlemats are useful, but I think the Flip-Mats are better. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
