Message: <blockquote data-quote="giant.robot" data-source="post: 5295973" data-attributes="member: 93119">I bought a bunch of plastic pawns from <a href="http://www.rolcogames.com/" target="_blank">Rolco Games</a> in different colors and use them for monsters. I wrote numbers on the sides using a sharpie so I can keep track of which monster is which. I use different colored pawns for each different type of monster. To track statuses I use the colored pony tail band method since they also work well on miniatures as well as pawns.Recently I picked up several sets of dungeon tiles to go along with my Game Mastery write-on sheet. I like using the WotC dungeon tiles because I feel like they give a better representation of the space the characters are in and I can easily hide sections of a dungeon they haven't visited yet by simply not putting that part on the table until they get there. I've got enough tiles now I can make fairly large rooms with lots of little flourishes in them.I also have a bag of plastic stand-up bases from Rolco as well. These are the kind that you can stick a piece of paper in to stand it up. I've used them for Battletech (I print out 'Mechs on card stock because I'm cheap) and they work really well for D&D. You can print out some monster and PC pictures and stand them up on the map. They're a little more personalized than pawns and miniatures but not quite as durable. If you've got the artwork and a printer this method is a relatively cheap way to have a wide variety of "minis". I suggest printing them on card stock rather than paper as they will last a lot longer.</blockquote>
