The newest addition to the Gaming Paper line, Gaming Paper Singles offer a low-cost alternative to expensive battlemaps and tile sets. Each pack contains 100 double-sided, 1-inch-square lined 8.5"x11" sheets.
While I've seen gaming paper around the internet, I've never seen any in person. So I have a question about these--would they be suitable for long-term use with or without laminate? I've got this idea of a cheap file folder with a bunch of common shapes in it that I can use dwarven forge-style. I've just never found a good (cheap) base for it.
I have a couple maps I'm saving for future campaigns. The main trouble with the rolls is finding packing tubes to store them in. I imagine these individual sheets will last just fine in document protectors.
...would they be suitable for long-term use with or without laminate?
As far as I can tell, the singles don't use the special coating that the rolls have. (You might want to check out Gaming Paper's YouTube Channel for some educational and entertaining demonstrations of how sturdy their rolls are.)
Okay, I have to say that, while I like the look and feel of the rolls, it was so much easier prepping for my game while still sitting my lazy rear end at my desk using this than trying to clear off a table to pre draw my map on the rolls.
I'm going to keep both the rolls and the singles in my GM armory from this point on. These are handy.
Shivok, could you do something like this? And combine them like this?
The nice thing about the singles is you can draw things out in advance, lay them out as the PCs explore the map. And when you're done with them, they fit into a document protector for the next time you have to run that encounter. (Say, at your next Pathfinder Society session.)
Shivok, could you do something like this? And combine them like this?
I can't respond for Shivok, but the sheets I make would work that way no problem. In fact, that is how I use them. I will admit I draw the maps out and save them as PDFs though so even if they were messed up on the table (GM notations, player spills drink) I just print them out again. :-)
I got all my gaming paper at Walmart in their after Christmas Sale. I got about ten rolls for $1.50 each. They are a mix of 30" wide by about 150' and 40" wide by about about 75'. Nice 1" squares on the back side and I can also use the other colorful side to wrap presents!
