[QUOTE="drjones, post: 4208544, member: 62944"] I have the tiles but I find myself using a flip mat from Paizo a lot, you can draw on it with dry or wet markers and it folds up like a normal piece of laminated paper (since thats what it is) and I think it was 12$ with one side generic and the other some location. It is also handy to use as a dry erase board to record initiatives and such on where everyone can see it. for the minis I have a thick cardboard shirt box I keep the adventures worth of pre-picked monsters in so I can pull out what I need for an encounter without giving later encounters away. If I know a big set piece fight is coming I will pre draw it on the map (like the last game where I knew the PCs were going to run into an ambush right away) but in the dungeon I draw each area as they see it, having a good reference map helps to get the size right. I still have my minis organized by 1.0 ddm faction.. I have no idea how I can organize them now that 2.0 has made overlapping factions common and thrown in good/evil and made a good portion of the pieces 'RP only' now or at least until the restatting is done.
