Hello. For those of you who run table-top roleplaying games, like
Dungeons and Dragons, what solutions have you found to maintain maps
for complex battles. In my current campaign, my nine players, plus 3
NPCs, eight horses, wagon and baggage are about to be ambushed by
fifteen brigands, who will in turn be ambushed by the ogre band they
are fleeing from. This makes for a bewildering array of targets to track.
I'm using Excel to do the monkey-work of keeping track of initiative,
HP, etc, but I need a solution for tracking a battlefield that's
liable to encompass a one or two hundred square of terrain that
varies from open hillside to dense woods. I'm willing to provide
detailed descriptions for my sighted players, but I want a way to
track this sprawling fight for myself so I can tell the players what
they see and what their opponents are doing.
The description of the sprawling fight in the recent Audyssey gives
me some hope that there might be a solution for this more elegant
than an Excel sheet with positions marked on it.
