Gaming Paper 1" Hexes Roll

This does not look like paper. Am I missing something?

It's paper, but it's been coated to make it easier to write on, if I'm recalling correctly.

It looks and feels a bit like wrapping paper.

It's thin paper with a clay coating to make it easier to write on and to prevent the ink from soaking through the paper.

I LOVE this stuff and would sing it's praises all day. :)

They have 21 demos on youtube Here of how it stands up better to abuse, and such

Gaming paper is absolutely awesome, especially for adventures your going to run more then once or locations you think your players are going to over and over.

This could maybe be useful for the Kingmaker AP. Over world maps are often hexed based. :)

I'm mostly concerned about waste. Is the paper done after you use it once?

Yes, its best used for either generic things or unique places that your PCs will visit more than once.

You'd think that it'd be recyclable?

It is paper after all.

I'm not sure you can recycle plastic coated paper.

Thought it was clay coated? I'll send the guys who make it an email.

It looked kind of shiny so I thought it was plastic covered, my bad.

I have always been confused about the attraction to this gaming paper, how is this one use throw away in the garbage and have to buy more of when I run out of, better then my 3 x 4 I can use over and over again and never have to replace or restock Chessex gaming mat?

It's really useful for places the PCs will keep returning to and for areas bigger than 3x4. We use both a Chessex mat and gaming paper almost every week.

Hyrum.

And you can pre-draw an area, roll or fold it up, and bring it out at the appropriate time without having to pause to draw all the details on a room, encounter, etc.

Though I trust for you guys that is a huge draw to this product, for me it isn't. Reusability of the Chessex map is more important to me, I have had the same mat for well over a decade. If I was to have used the paper for the same amount of time, I most likely would have spent allot more money for the same function.

Most of us have a Chessex map as well. This is just a useful tool to have.

You've probably bought new dice in the past 10 years when the ones from the 90s work just fine, too. ;)

LOL! I still use the one's I bought in the 70's!

Actually no.. :-p, I have not bought new dice in over a decade, last time I bought new dice was because I lost a bunch of dice.

In other words, it is useful as an add on not an replacement?

That I may be able to see. Maybe for those games you run at conventions over and over again, and the use of the paper is sparingly.

Yep! It's awesome if you need a particular map more then once or twice.

Such as in an organized play network like the Pathfinder Society or the leftovers of Living Greyhawk. Great if your players have a headquarters that you plan on using a lot to stage adventures in, in cast it gets attacked, etc.

This hex stuff would probably be awesome for Kingmaker's over world maps once the party gets involved with it since pencil works on it.

I personally have the sewers of Westcrown on the square grid gaming paper. $4 for a 12' roll isn't bad at all.

It does indeed. I would have hoped for a thicker paper, but this will have to do.

NOTE: I was part of the Kickstarter they had and the Cobblestone rolls do NOT look like the picture. It more looks like a cow pattern or just not like the cobble stone.

Unless of course he corrected the issue!

The cobble stone 8.5" x 11" paper look great though, the rolls though were horrible. See the kickstarter for others with the same opinion.
