It always kills the pacing and tension of a session when I have to keep checking and correcting the players or myself with the shape of a room that has zero bearing on the overall experience. This is a timely thread as I’m running a biggish dungeon over the next few sessions. Normally for something I’d run in a single session I’d forgo the mapping and only drawing out encounter areas if needed. But with a dungeon that will need to be properly explored, I’ve been asking myself how to deal with mapping. My group plays once a month for 3-4 hours, so I’m loathe to do anything that’ll slow down play. But I’d like to also make the exploration of the place have some depth and tension. Not sure what I’m gonna do.</blockquote>
