[QUOTE="Nonlethal Force, post: 3138244, member: 35788"] Map making can be a time-void ... but I have found that online it can help in combat. I employ a simple sblock/code package that keeps it neat and tidy. Plus, while it might take 8-10 minutes to come up with the original it only takes seconds for the rest of the combat to update it. For example: [Sblock=Sample Battlefield Map] [Code] -------- | 4 56| | 1 23 | | GR | |E A| ---/----[/Code] Each space represents 5 feet Key: 1-6 are zombies A = Aaron (PC) E = Erica (PC) G = Greg (PC) R = Rachel (PC) Explanation: That took no more than 5 minutes to make. It repesents a 20x30 foot room. I have no doubt that anyone looking at that can immediately tell that there are 6 zombie opponents, the location of the opponents in relation to themselves and their allies, and that there is a door in the south wall. With it, I can simply cut and paste from the last post to update this one - you don't even have to edit the former post! Also, the players can designate movements and opponents that they would like to strike out against.[/Sblock] [/QUOTE]
