[QUOTE="FSBDavy, post: 4511813, member: 76068"] Bodhiwolff- I have been gaming for a long while now, but as soon as I saw this thread, I knew you were on to something big! This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks!!!!! I am using poker chips- with colors that show all at a glance my character's approx status (green-yellow-red-black). I was putting the play grid and the sheets (and cards for lower lvls when there are not so many) all under one big sheet of plastic available in any hardware store. However, it did get a bit sticky when resting your arms on the plastic for extended periods. But this did let me cover up used powers with markers nicely too! And let the newbies see their available powers grouped by at-will/enc/day. Lower levels only, obviously. Glass is the best cover I feel. Easily written on and erased with standard easliy available whiteboard markers. You may be lucky enough to own or be able to get hold of a glass topped table, or a large additional piece of glass can be cut to size for your entire table, but it isn't cheap! I'm with you 100%. I agree that the whole point is to keep it simple. If you want to know your feats, use your character sheet. The playmat is for constantly used at a glance stuff! I agree loose the passives- that is DM territory! And I also agree completely with darjr- this is so great, I am sure we will see an 'official' version of it soon- just hope they credit you Bodhiwolff, this is really really great! It has eased my introduction into 4th, and my entire group to a man want to have your babies! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
