Dragons are among the most fearsome foes in fantasy gaming, and GameMastery Flip-Mat: Dragon’s Lair depicts the perfect location for the legendary conflict between hero and wyrm! Slay a powerful dragon in its own lair with this miniatures-scale map designed to enhance the visual appeal and ease of an important RPG battle in a desolate cavern lair.
GameMastery Flip-Mats are designed to make your game portable and affordable. They're made with durable, laminated card stock and can handle dry erase, wet erase, and even permanent marker!
Flip-Mats are constructed of durable laminated card stock (~70 lb paper—comparable to that of a restaurant menu). They measure 24" by 30", and quickly and conveniently fold down to 8" by 10" (slightly smaller than a sheet of notebook paper). The 1” grid extends fully to the edge of the maps for a full 720 square inches of usable area.

Usable by experienced GMs and novices alike, this product fits perfectly into any Game Master's arsenal!
A fine companion to the "Darklands" Flip Mat, and the cavern-themed Map Pack (in fact, I could easily imagine a package deal with the two Flip Mats and one or two copies of the Map Pack working quite nicely, especially if bundled with a short campaign.)
Again, dry erase markers can be used to draw in walls to add some complexity to either side of the map, and the flip-side offers a lot of room for larger-scale encounters.
As shown by the product image, one side of this mat is a dragon's lair. The flip side is a more general underground locale. The pros: the shading of the map perfectly matches that of Flip-Mat Darklands, so one can use both products side by side to stage a larger underground scene or battle to great effect. The artwork on the dragon's lair side is highly evocative -- I especially like the stairs that lead across a chasm to the dragon's nesting place, and the various bones scattered about. The flip-mat has one small con: if you intend for this to be the lair of a gargantuan or colossal dragon, then it'll likely be a tad on the small side. On the other hand, DMs could easily use this as a substitute for other encounters (I can especially imagine some evil priest or wizard standing at some sacrificial altar on the far side of the chasm, hurling spells at PCs as they attempt to cross the chasm). Both sides of the mat have high potential for repeated use.
