Map from my recent sessions running Basic D&D. This is the Zenopus dungeon after our 2nd game. I drew the map on a wall chalkboard as the game progressed.
That would be useful. I used this wall board when we had it available. Otherwise I drew the map in pencil on a sheet of paper. I liked how the wall board encouraged me to stand while running the game.
I once ran a session of the Clockwork Mage module (by Role Aids) for AD&D 1e in a classroom and drew the map on the chalkboard as the players explored the mansion. I quite enjoyed that method.
I'd like to get a 3x4 foot dry erase board for the wall or tripod. Chalk dust gets me all choked up. :P I have a small 8x10 inch dry erase board that I can use for small maps & put that on the table, it works for describing things on the fly, but not large maps like ^^.
Do you have a game table that you can paint with chalkboard paint, just as Holmes recommended and played with?

ReplyDeleteI ran a memorable Runequest game in a classroom on the chalkboard that way many years ago. It worked pretty well.
