A metal box might solve some of that. I prefer to carry stuff in a laptop bag. The compartment is "book sized", fits all of my core books and campaign books, and has straps to hold the books in place. An accordian file built in to one pocket can hold loose documents, and the other external pocket can hold thin books (like adventures).Maps are a valid point. I'd rather not have to deal with glue or perferated paper to get my map out of a book, and if the setting needs lots of maps that method becomes almost impossible.Of course, while were on the subject of alternative substances for boxes... Am I the only person who thought that the cloth map that came with the original Dark Sun campaign was the coolest thing since sliced bread? It fit the setting, but even better... it stood up to punishment! My poster maps have long since worn through on the creases and have become tattered, but my cloth map of Athas is still beautiful!Maybe the cost of doing cloth maps is prohibitive, but I wish more settings would go that route. I'd be happy to pay an extra $5 to $10 for a good quality cloth map in place of the fragile paper ones.</blockquote>
