[QUOTE="Meech17, post: 9276098, member: 7044459"] So I'm new to the world of gridded play. I ran my first session using it two weeks ago. First encounter I just drew out an area with symbols for statues and other obstacles. The second encounter I went all out and drew an entire eight room house that the PCs infiltrated. I had drawn it out and used pieces of paper as a fog of war, removing them as PCs entered rooms. I can see the first method being the primary way to use a grid. The party enters a room with an encounter and I can draw out that specific room. While the second method was really fun and had what I felt to be a large pay-off.. It was A LOT of work. Plus it was a pain. I drew it out the night before, and had to store the tiles in another room. While moving them I had to be super careful to not erase any of the marker. Do you guys draw out entire dungeons? Or just specific rooms? Any other tips or tricks for a newbie to on-grid play? Edit: I should have mentioned beforehand that I was primarily looking for answers regarding in-person play. I do enjoy hearing about the VTT options though. [/QUOTE]
