[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 2015440, member: 22103"] I concur: Tact-Tiles RULE! I got some a couple of weeks ago and they've definitely changed my game. Since I have been using them, I had a few comments on your review Joe. First off, I feel that you are assuming the reader knows what Tact-Tiles are. I would have mentioned that they are made of a hard plastic and are approximately 10"x10". Also, the 2 longest paragraphs in your review don't actually talk about Tact-Tiles at all, they discuss a vinyl battle map and Dungeon Forge. Comparing Tact-Tiles to a vinyl map makes sense but I didn't think the info about Dungeon Forge was helpful. I have been using a vinyl battle mat for some time now and found the cleanup to be a mess. I would get ink all over my hands every time without fail. Cleaning Tact-Tiles is unbelievably fast, easy, and clean. Tact-Tiles really shine in a dungeon setting. Instead of having to start a dungeon in the center or the edge of a large map, you can start with a single tile and just add tiles according to where the players go. It's almost like scrolling a map in a computer RPG. For an encounter in a large room or outdoor setting, I would still use my vinyl mat though. Vinyl mats also allow you draw things out in advance and then store it so you can take it out when needed. You can't really do that with Tact-Tiles. I have a couple of minor complaints about Tact-Tiles though. As Joe mentioned, the surface is very slick. Plastic minis have a tendency to slide around a bit whereas a vinyl mat has more resistance to hold them in place. Also, the dry erase tends to rub off fairly easily during combat when things are getting moved around a lot. I usually had to redraw some walls once in a while. Even with the minor gripes, I would still give the TT a 5/5 without question. [/QUOTE]
