[QUOTE="Thasmodious, post: 4738292, member: 63272"] Make a portable version. Get a flat, smooth square of wood a bit bigger than your battlemat and attach wooden planks about 6-8" wide with l-brackets on one side in an X or + (to make it stable and leave as much space up under the raised battle area as possible. This piece should be easy to bring by car from location to location and just sat down in the middle of whatever table you're playing on. While my group plays at my house and doesn't move around, I did this same thing because I set up and take down my gaming table from week to week. My gaming room is also my other hobbies room, home office, PC gaming lair... I took a folding portable poker table and bought two smooth pieces of wood cut in the same octagonal shape as the poker table and clamped them on either side of it to create the tabletop. This sets on top of a regular folding legs card table. The raised platform described above goes on the tabletop, and comes back off for putting the whole thing away in a closet. The clamps come off for poker games. All in all, works quite well, and since the poker tabletop was a gift, it only cost me a few bucks for the wood, hardware, some sandpaper and some finish to do the whole thing. [/QUOTE]
