Using 2D Terrain

I show you how I use 2d terrain for in person and virtual gaming.

2d terrain is extremely under rated.

I'm a fan of 2.25-2.75D … I've got two kinda warring disabilities that impact things. One of them is more of an issue because I'm often the GM, but they both factor in. First, I'm legally blind, so I can't just see lines on a battle mat because the contrast is often not there what with the ground image, the grid lines, and reflection of the lamp off the plastic-coated mat. Second, chemo causes me chronic pain and has greatly reduced what I can carry and how far before I fatigue, which matters because again, blind, I have to carry everything and usually on busses and trains. What's a GM to do? A lightweight mat that's nearly indestructible is a good start. EVA foam (think foam dice/kids' craft foam) Doesn't texture worth a damn. Gridlines and paint are the best you'll get without layering it. Half inch 2D walls. works. Can't use top-down mini tokens either, bot online-style tokens are fine, or might be if not for my players who'd riot if they couldn't have character minis. 🤣 Everything else gets to be foam bottom-weighted bits of foam with stick-figure quality faces and numbers on top of them.

was left speaker only a choice? to make it sound 2d?

Who made the top down monster tokens you use?

Really enjoying your videos. Strangely, you remind me of a kinder, gentler Mark Hamill...

Thank you. That's high praise, indeed.

I have a question what is the wizard of the coast battle grid that you mention at minute 9:08 ? do you know the product name ?

[@rpgdiy3301]

It's called the D&D Adventure Grid. It works well, but I'm doing a review, this weekend, of the Loke Battle Mats version that I like better.
