Was considering to get a grid mat, large- at least A2 or so - of those you can write and erase. After searching online I found few options, and they’re a bit pricey.
Any recommendations? I don’t need anything fancy. Just a large laminated grid that can be rolled up. Thanks
Get an A2-sized paper grid map (FAR cheaper than laminated) and then get an A2-size piece of that plastic sheeting they use in cheap restaurants to protect the tablecloth (about 1.5mm thick transparent, soft plastic).
That’s what I use (well, mine are bespoke to fit my table) and not only does it give me RPG-related grid map capabilities, it’s also good for holding board game boards and displays in place, protecting them from drinks and food stains, while giving a surface that you can write on and that gives good grip for playing pieces.
Optionally, since the plastic cover is so good at holding things in place, you can get two A3-sized or four A4-sized grid maps which is easier to find and far cheaper than an A2-sized one would be. That way you’re only paying the price for a single A2-sized sheet of plastic cover.
I’ll look into that, thanks for the suggestion
