[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5071929, member: 9255"] Tiles are awesome and the kids will appreciate them greatly but they involve set up time. I do a grid (graph paper) image of the room in my notes then BEFORE the game I set it up with the tiles. Once done, I place these tiles and the creature miniatures into a gallon sized zip lock bag. Makes for quick set up and keeps the surprise going. I am considering doing some graph work with the kids (earn extra XP if they do it correctly / near correct) with a maze but generally don't do have them map it out. I used to use chessex battlemats all of the time until I got enough Tiles to set up a dungeon or two in advance. Maps are good but these can take time to set up also (especially complex rooms). I can't give much for advice. Try to get a feel for what the players want vs time/organization restraints. Try the zip lock by room system. Works very well for me. Keep sharing the hobby with the kids and others also. [/QUOTE]
