Howdy folks,
My group is getting ready to head into the Fire Forest, and I was just curious how other DMs were handling maps and minis.
In Adventure 1, I printed out the maps on Enworld using Excel (or as pdfs), meaning that I had a lot of cutting and taping to do. For Adventure 2, I've got a friend who is going in early to work to use a plotter to print out the maps (but I feel guilty about asking him to do this, not to mention he's one of the players, so he gets a sneak peek at the maps). I also use Tac-Tiles when I need to, but I guess I just wonder what other folks are doing. (I'm looking at the maps for Adventure 3 and thinking, "ZOMG! I don't have enough tape for those!)
The same applies for minis. I use a combination of official D&D minis, some home-brewed counters from KotS and random minis from my own painted collection. One of the reasons I was initially drawn to the official 4e adventures from Wizards was because of the free counters packs that Fiery Dragon produced. Has anyone done anything similar for WotBS? Or any other suggestions on ways to make minis?
Thanks y'all,
Berc
