Hey that whole "We go east" thing back fired on me when I took over the game on several occasions. I just remember how frustrated you where when you would say, "Ok you have been traveling for three days through these wheat fields and have found nothing. What do you do?" We would then look through our packs and see how much food we had and then when we saw that we had pleanty we woudl all chime in and say, "We go east some more!" And even when you threw in a group of bad guys to try to warn us back, what did we do? Will killed them becasue they were blocking the road East!....good times.... hehe, Nice to hear fom you too man, And thanks to Chairbourne for the "DEER HUMANZ" props...

Another option that might work for you if you have a the funds for it. I was once in a group (about 5 years back) whoes DM managed to get his hands on a digital projector. You know the kind that plugs into the back of your laptop or PC and is primarily used for meetings and presentations? Well what he did was take the projector and mount it above the gaming table facing down onto the table itself. What he would do is take the maps he wanted to use, be it a home made map, or one he tore out of a Dungeon Magazine or a module and scan it into photoshop. He would then make a mask over the image that he scanned that covered the whole map with black (or whatever color he wanted to use to prevent it from being visable) He would then of course shoot the whole thing through the projector and onto the gaming table. Through trial and error he was able to size the projection to where it had the 1X1 in grids to scale. As a party went through the dungeon, he woudl use the erase tool on photoshop to erase that part of the map thus showing the progress without giving away the whole map! There are pros and cons to this idea though.
A VERY MAJOR PRO is that it takes up absolutely no table top space. You can put all your stuff all over the place and only have to move it when the map starts to impeed. Another pro is that the projector adds reading light to the table, thats always a plus when playing in a basement. And not to mention it looks reall cool!!!!! Just putting my 2 cents in.. hope it helps!
Hey WerePlatypus, What about when you were playing the little scholarly wizard character and I decided it would be a good idea for your family to give you a servant to follow you around just to keep you out of trouble. The time that stands out most was when you were attempting to engage a member of the opposite sex in some ummmm negotiations, and Halpert your man servant comes running up to you saying rather loudly, "Sir, its time for your movement, you know how upset your tummy gets when you havn't had a proper movement." (that last phrase was spoken in a very bad british accent) Nice to be remembered here though..thanks for the honors. "Nothing tastes like Doogan. hehehe" |
