What size is your combat grid?

[Ethalias]

Welcome Jade, and a lovely setup you have. I hope one day to fulfil the full cliché and have a basement to game in!

I have the smallest of the Chessex mats. It's the only mat I've ever owned (I'm quite new), and although it's the only one that will fir on my rather small table, if you have the space i recommend at least the next one up, especially if you're playing 4E which tends towards larger encounter areas generally speaking. The super-duper one would be luxury, if excessive more most uses.

Everyone seems to love Tact-tiles. They're at a premium these days it seems. Not too off-topic i hope, but what is it about them that's so desirable?

Its a dream to play on, as our DM will tell you when he has seen that i have posted

Meh. 's alright.




(j/k - it's fantastic. Makes a huge difference to the ease of running games!)

Jade... excellent table! One of these days I hope to build something like that. I have managed to piece a decent one together. A great way to get a huge combat grid cheap is to buy tile board (aka shower board) at Home Depot (~$11.00 for a 4 ft. x 8 ft. piece). I bought a piece, chopped off a foot so it fit my folding tables and scored the grid onto it (if you use markers to make the grid, even "permanent" ones, they'll come off or smudge).

Nice one looks good

I just got a bit lucky when we moved into the new house, we had a spare room and a basement, so my misses said i could use the spare room for the d&d room lol, not thinking about the basement then
But the better idea was to use the basement
