[QUOTE="JamesonCourage, post: 6177966, member: 6668292"] Exactly! Maybe 15 spaces taken up on the high end the majority of the time. 10 X 12 is still 120 squares... the good guys and the bad guys are only taking up about 1/10th of it (before walls, obstacles, and the like). If I go 12 X 15, that's 180 squares, and the good guys and bad guys are only taking up 1/12th of the board (before walls, obstacles, and the like). I didn't think much more would be necessary. I can see 8 X 10 feeling small, but 10 X 12 is decent (to me), 12 X 15 is pretty good, and 18 X 20 just seems huge. Again, to me. But I haven't had anything more than me playing out encounters, so I can't say for sure yet. I guess I just see how this can't function at 12 X 15, but you all have more experience. I'm waiting to see for myself, but you're probably right. This is a good point. I'll try to keep this in mind. Thanks :) Yeah, I'll be doing simple drawings with dry erase markers on a battle map and using tokens (they ordered minis for just their characters). So, nothing fancy on my end. I don't plan on investing in the battle map / miniatures / tokens all that much at all, so printing pictures out and slapping them to cardboard cutouts (wrapped in tape) is going to do for me. I hope so, it's been a very good thread. Feel free to kick in ideas on my last post, too! [/QUOTE]
