This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What kind of maps/minis do you use?

Quote from: mAcular Chaotic;829886Are there any maps that don't have that problem? I want to draw ahead of time when I have a chance.

With Paizo flipmats you draw on them with dry-erase marker. You can erase week-old marks ok (unless maybe you had left the maps sitting out unfolded all week - just folding them up helps a lot). After a couple weeks much of the solvent will have evaporated, unless you kept them in an airtight bag. If that happens you just mark over the old pen marks with new dry-erase ink - ie applying more solvent - then wipe off. If you missed a bit the solvent accrued on your cloth will still catch it.

Quote from: K Peterson;829971And, if we end the session before the 'battle' is done, we take a quick smartphone photo of the 'battlefield' and redraw it at the beginning of the next session.
Oh, now, that's a smart trick; thank you, I'll have to remember that.  The times I've had to do it, I've spent a laborious 15-20 post-session minutes (with me being wiped out and really not wanting to spend more time thinking about the game) sketching everything out.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

On those rare occasions I've needed representations, I think I've just used a chessboard as a floormap.
