I leave those segments uncovered, as an abstract representation of the characters’ mental map, assuming they’re capable enough to remember accurately. When layout doesn’t matter, I keep to descriptions and leave players to sort out any note taking they may want to do themselves.Online:I make maps in roll20 and let dynamic lighting do the work. If players want to make their own maps, that’s their call. I likewise assume if players want to “go back to the room where we fought the black pudding” or whatever, I assume their characters have an accurate enough mental picture of the space to get them there.</blockquote>
