Alright so me and my friends have a lot of fun playing D&D but we get kind of bored playing in a dungeon all the time. So I would like to know where I would get a new kind of battle grid (Something like a forest, town, cave, etc.) or must I create a new one by hand. If I do is there a book I should get to make one, and what is the book named? I am kind of hoping there is a forest battle grid thing or something so I don't have to use 2 hours to make one...

There are also many premade PDF products which can be printed out and used. These can be found in the 2-D Buildings/Terrain section of RPGNow (.com, look in the categories sidebar on the left). There are also some websites with free downloads of tiles which can be printed out and used.
