[QUOTE="Aaron2, post: 1642147, member: 1436"] For dungeons, I bought a large pad of 1" gridded paper at an office supply store. The paper is for presentations and each sheet is about three feet by four feet. I draw the map out on the paper and cut the individual rooms apart. That way I kinda have a puzzle that I reconstruct as the players move about. The main advantage of doing it this way is that I can take the time (non-game time) to carefully draw the floorplan, often coloring the various areas and drawing in interesting bits like floor pattern, rocks and furniture. I can also label things. I found that when I used a battlemat that tmy rooms were dull and uninteresting. Plus, I often design the dungeon as I draw it out in full scale so I don't even need to keep a map for myself. The game map is my map. Here's something similar. It may look expensive but one pad lasted for a 2 year/once a week campaign.
