[QUOTE="Connorsrpg, post: 6766661, member: 19265"] Always have. In fact, I just use what is available. Normally I place a felt mat in the middle (as things can be placed under it for elevation. If I have a floor plan I may place it down, or use tiles for some things (they are especially good for raised areas). I use blocks, hoody strings, dominies, etc. All without grid. Just put some stuff out there and go. Savage Worlds inspired me too. I still use their templates for bursts etc. And I have small, plastic rulers cut off at 30ft (or other lengths for other mvt rates - though 30ft is easily used), so a player can very quickly determine how far they can move. Or the DM does it. These flexible rulers bend too. We do this approximately and quickly, not exactly. If it looks like someone can engage an enemy, then they do. I too liked the 13th Age approach. Have not used it specifically, but it has influenced my DMing. I started 4E by using squares and very soon ditched the idea. But we LOVE using minis.
