I also want a magnetic one so I can use counters, or maybe even minis, with magnetic bases on it with it mounted on a wall. The problem is that a large enough one for gaming (I'm thinking 3' x 4' at a minimum, but 4' x 6' might be better) is really expensive! SO does anyone know where I could get one that big cheap? I'm thinking the best cheap solution is to make my own. I remember seeing threads about white boards and such on here where people mentioned making them. Does anybody know or have ideas on how to make a magnetic one with a grid?It being magnetic is important to me because, as I said, I still want to use counters/minis, but I want to remove the battlemat from the middle of the gaming area. That's usually where it goes now an it winds up being a barrier to the kind of play my group enjoys. It's awkward to write on, rolling dice on it knocks things around and, in order to fit it on a table and leave room to play still, it has to be fairly small- so we wind up erasing it over and over to draw or re-draw the map. If I can put the map on the wall next to the DM, then we can use a bigger map, so less redrawing. It would allow us to be more casual without the large 'no-man's land' filling the table. It would be easy for everyone to see. Plus I've thought of a neat trick that could make combats less confusing- the Wand of Power! It's a laser pointer that will both emphasize who's turn it is (to cut out all the crosstalk) and be used to show the DM exactly where you're moving. Anyway, that's all besides the point. I want a large magnetic white board with a grid on it. I'd really appreciate any ideas on either where to buy one or how I can make one. Thanks!</blockquote>
