What battlemap sizes do you most frequently use?
Added 2025-08-26 10:16:51 +0000 UTCHi all - I just wanted to run a quick poll to see what battlemap sizes do you most frequently use - note here that it is not what size you prefer, just use! I would love as many people to get involved as possible, so I know what sizes to realistically aim for in the future - even if just 10% of the 3500 folks here got involved, that'd give me a great idea!
Thanks

Landscape maps can be blown up larger to make good use of the available space, without lots of dead space or zooming such that a lot of the map is off-screen. Lots of maps are drawn with lighting or other subtle issues that don't hold up all that well when rotated...better to draw them natively landscape.

2025-08-26 19:20:34 +0000 UTCI prefer anything Large and anything bigger. My players are tactical, and a larger map gives them various positioning opportunities. Since my players do it, more intelligent enemies also use positioning when relevant. I can always rotate the map 90 to 180 degrees when using it again six months down the line and use different starting conditions inside the larger maps
