These mats, first made available in 1981, have become the standard for vinyl game mats. Using water-soluble overhead-projection pens (NOT dry erase, grease pencil, or permanent markers), you can write on the vinyl and remove later with water when the adventure is done.
Sizing: Megamats are 34.5” x 48” (88cm x 122cm).

I consider these easily the quintessential gamingt battle grids for standard grid-based battles. With the newest Dungeons and Dragons game assuming you will have a grid and minis, this can almost be considered a necessity. They work well even if you use a dungeon pack, this can be a good background to help keep everything organized. For areas not used for combat, notes can easily be taken on it. As with all wet-erase mats I have used, be careful about keeping marks on these too long. Most of my mats have some darkening from past use.

I bought the 34.5 x 48 Chessex vinyl battlemat from Paizo. It came rolled and squashed. When I lay it out on a table, the surface of the mat forms hills and valleys that cause miniatures to tip over and stop dice from rolling. These aren't creases; they're rolling folds.
I tried gently folding back along the folds. No good. I tried ironing the battlement under a towel. I produced a unique odor that my wife didn't love but failed to flatten the rolls even a smidge. I've now got the battlemat stretched flat on the floor with each corner held down by a six-inch stack of gaming books. No progress yet. Maybe by the year 2050.
Any advice on how to flatten this thing down? And what's the best way to roll it for transport to gaming sessions?

I've got an old hex mat from Chessex, maybe 15 years old. I wonder if they changed their vinyl because mine just needs to be rolled up for a day, then laid out an hour before playing on it and its flat.
In a hurry I've poured hot water over it on the patio which did a tremendous job. But again, mine is REALLY old.

Whatever you do, do not use dry erase markers on this! I picked up the wrong marker by accident and now mine has a huge ugly green boat drawn on the square side. My friends laugh at me each time I use it. Dry erase markers do not come off by any solvent I could get my hands on commerically. But I really loved it until I ruined it.

Have you tried an abrasive cleaner? That might help a little bit.

Use a wet-erase marker over the top of the dry erase, then erase. If there is still a trace of the dry erase marker, just repeat. The sooner you do this the better.
I had a player use a blue dry erase marker on my mat, and this trick worked great. There is not any sign of the dry erase remaining.
