[QUOTE="Irondeacon, post: 5072668, member: 84046"] Bluetack! Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks S'mon! I like the dungeon tiles, but they do require loads of pre-play set up to get what you want for your encounter. The big drawback I've had with them, is getting them placed on the table in a timely fasion. Using bluetack with the foamcore boards I have, means I can pre-set the tiles on the board to my satisfaction, pull them out and use them at the appropriate time, and then remove them after play for re-use. Much better than taking a chance of damaging the tiles with tape. You also might consider a program like Dundjiinni. Not real expensive, easy to use, and there's a very active community of artists on their forums who create textures, items, and maps for us poor overworked DM's to use. Check out [url=http://www.dundjinni.com/default.asp]Dundjinni Mapping Software - Bring Your Game To Life[/url] . Thanks again S'mon. It's the little pointers like yours that keep me reading these forumns. Respectfully, The Deacon Id Fiat Iron Deacon Si! [/QUOTE]
