The sunrod does sort of make the light rules "go away", but, at least for me, in a good way:The first part of the encounter is a bit of tense exploration with the low-light people sneaking around, then, someone screws up/gets bitten/whatever and all hell breaks loose, and THEN the lights come on. It almost lets you have two encounters in the same room.I could also imagine that if you were running an encounter with Darkvision PCs, you could have the reverse.  They explore around, then douse the lights and commence the Whoop-@$$. If I had the wherewithal, patience, and drive to run something like an overhead projector and maptools, I bet it would be even more awesome, but it's still been pretty good with regular old paper (and the black construction paper to cover up the stuff you can't see).</blockquote>
