DnD 4th edition and 3rd edition use a 1″ grid for all mapping now. This is the best mat for laying out your encounters. I find that duplicating the maps in pre-published adventures is about impossible. With this mat, you just draw it out using overhead pens. Easy, good quality, it lays flat, it’s great.

This battlemat was perfect for when me and the guys would get together for Dungeons and Dragons. This giant mat allowed us to draw rather large sections of explored territory at one time, instead of the old hassle of having to erase and redraw every time we moved to a new area because we didn’t have enough room. The best for a DM’s campaign! The hexes on the back also allow for any other RPG to come to life in an accurately scaled environment. Just awesome.

I picked this mat up in preparation for a Savage Worlds campaign. The system, like many others coming out recently, is geared toward using miniatures to help visualize the situation. It seemed a convenient way to keep track of the immediate area instead of shuffling papers around and redrawing people at key points. Little did I know I would never be able to go back to doing things the old way again.
The pens they suggest are perfect, leaving no marks behind. The squares are 1″, which is the standard for most miniatures systems out there. If you plan on doing a lot of drawing on the map and redrawing, you may need to rinse the wet cloth you use. When you wipe off the ink, it has to go somewhere!
This has also sped up our games tremendously, and has people saying how much they feel like they’re more involved in the action. It also encourages them to use tactics, and eliminates any confusion on where people are when that becomes important. In all, I now have trouble figuring out how I’m ever going to play or run a game without it!
