[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9276160, member: 7006"] I have a gridded wet-erase Chessex map on my table with a large sheet of plexiglass (3' by 4' ish?) lying on top of it. So I can dry-erase maps on top of the plexi as needed with the grid below to guide my hand. If it's a large map that I know the party is going to and I want to save time, I'll print the small version of the map I want onto a sheet of paper with the image flipped... that way I can dry-erase draw the reversed map image on the plexi, then when I'm done, flip the plexi sheet over and realign it to the Chessex grid beneath it, that way the dry-erase lines cannot be accidentally erased because they are on the bottom side of the plexiglass. I will also occasionally use my Dungeon Tiles and build dungeons or forest areas out using tiles and then place the plexi sheet over the top of them when done so that the tiles can't move or get slid around as players move their miniatures (and it allows me to again dry-erase on the plexi if there are effects that occur during the battle that we need to keep track of.) Finally, if I find an intricate and detailed full-color map online that I know I will need and which looks really, really good... I can also print said map at 1" scale on my color laser printer, cut and tape the pages together to create a full poster map, then again place it on my table and cover it with my clear plexi sheet so it can't move. I can and do all of these things depending on what I need, how cool do I want it to look, and how much time I'm willing to spend on it to prepare. [/QUOTE]
