[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 3061685, member: 18701"] This looks great, but there's 2 things keeping me from buying it. 1. The 8.5 x 11 size is perfect for me, but they wasted TONS of space on that board with their huge logo & dead space at the top. The bottom also looks to be wasting about an inch of space. There's wasted space on the left & right sides. The readied/delaying bars are clever, but they also waste a lot of space. There has to be a better way to show readied/delaying. If the board made better use of space, I would have more room to add notes and I could use more magnets for more characters. 2. The size of the name tags looks really big. You can only fit 9 tags down the column? I would definately have to get smaller magnets to use as character placements. If they were smaller and there was more room in the initiative area, you could fit other magnets next to names to represent buffs and other info. I may end up buying a magnetic board and making my own version of this. [/QUOTE]
