[QUOTE="Perram, post: 4907388, member: 84740"] Having just come back from GenCon (my first time attending) I've since been inspired by the various options I have available for... lets face it... toys at the game table. But I've had a hard time deciding what I should use. Currently I use a good old fashioned Battlemat and Wet-Erase markers. While there is very little 'Wow' factor to the battle-mats, it provides me with the most freedom, obviously. I also have several [URL="http://paizo.com/store/gameAids/gamingMats/steelSqwire"]Flip-Mats[/URL] that I use, and enjoy. I supplement them with [URL="http://www.profantasy.com/products/cc3.asp"]Campaign Cartogropher 3[/URL] maps that I make myself and print on 1" scale. Using these are nice, but its often hard to find one that matches some of my more unique locations. Making maps in CC3 is something I'm getting better at, but I've not mastered it yet.
