09-21-05, 04:02 PM Battlemat: noun. definition: a battlemat is basically a large board that's all graphed out, giving the DM freedom to visually describe surroundings on it rather than having to explain sizes and geography to the players... I think...

I know that playing the game with minitures and tiles makes it a hell of a lot more fun when my group plays!
