So I've got a series of paper maps for a dungeon. I'm looking for a good way to hide the rooms from the players until they walk in that is easy to undo and won't tear the maps.
Ideas?
I use 5x7 notecards. Just spread them over the whole map ( overlapping, not neatly tiled) and then slide them out of the way as the PCs explore. 1 or at most 2 packs will cover a whole map. I keep them in a quart size ziplock and reuse them.
I wanted to avoid having everyone shut their eyes or look away as I change floors.
Buy a few corkboards or tiles where you can tack the map pieces and their coverings beforehand.
Here.
Post-It notes work great. They stay where you put them, and you can peek without removing them.
As for changing maps, cover the map at home. Later, as you change maps, you can hold it up by one edge, and they still remain covered.
