Chessex Role Playing Play Mat: Battlemat Double-Sided Reversible Mat for RPGs and Miniature Figure Games (26 in x 23 1/2 in) Squares/Hexes

pretty good mat!As someone else ahs reviewed, i purchased with Staedtler 315 WP8 Lumocolor Universal Non Permanent Medium Pens - Assorted Coloursdry right away, and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.Excellent for RP

This is a really good grid map for table top role playing games. It has a square grid on one side and a hex grid on the other so which ever form of tactical combat you prefer you are covered. It is flexible so you can roll it up between sessions for easy storage and flattens down just as easy. There is not much else to say about the product itself as it is simply a mat! I will say that the key to getting the most out of this produce is taking care of it, you can quite easily ruin it by drawing with the wrong pen or not cleaning it properly and that is not the products fault, that is the users for not doing their homework.Make sure to clean it with a damp cloth immediately when you are finished with a particular drawing on it and then again with water before you put it away. This helps it keep clean form permanent marks as even the erasable pens can leave marks if not cleared away fast enough. Plus make sure to buy the right pens to use on it, the ones suggested to purchase with this often aren't the right ones. These are the pens i bought second time around and they have bee perfect for it(after I had bought the 4 pack that comes with coloured pens and found out they don't erase, only fade).

The mat is sturdy enough and a decent size. Having both hex and cross is an incredible plus compared to many other mats out there.However the fact you cannot use wet-wipe markers is so stupid... There's so few high-street retailers that supply them which makes replacing markers costly and cumbersome. (Not directly a fault of the mat, but an unavoidable nuisance.)There are several other mats I would recommend before trying this one, unless you have access to dry-wipe markers.- Tested wet-wipe markers and if you erase quick enough it's fine. If you let it set... Get the vodka and wire-brush out.

Decent quality map, this is actually the second I've owned over the years. It does gradually get marked over time but it massively re-usable and makes RPGs with minis super fun. I combo-ed this up with some DnD box sets and had an absolute blast.

Perfect size to play Dungeons and dragons and any person professional or amateur in the game should get this.short delivery time and no damage to the package when it arrived

I bought this mat for my recently started Pathfinder Kingmaker adventure path, a sandbox adventure that (hopefully) concludes with the players becoming rulers of a newly settled nation. This means that in addition to the normal square grid, I also needed a hex grid to keep track of explored land and manage settlements and so on. This battlemat was exactly what fit the bill and has been so easy to use it's magical.

whiteboard markers works fine. it but does stick if left too long(several days) but with the use of rubbing alcohol, it comes off with no problems

I recently bought this as we started a new Dungeons and Dragons group where I work and it seemed perfect for the encounter grids. At first I was very pleased with the size in full, and also the grid size, however, this quickly turned to dismay when the dry-wipe markers would not wipe off.We found a quick solution in applying just a dab of Vodka (I'm sure any white spirit or board-cleaner would also work) which brought it up a treat, but I did not expect such an issue to arise at all.
