For comparison, an easel pad from Office Depot is $20 for 50 sheets that are 27″ x 30″. 5 square feet each times 50 is 250 square feet, so $20/250 = 8 cents per square foot. Gaming Grid paper at $4 for 30 square feet is 13.3 cents a square foot.

But why not try the Gaming Grid first, for less total money, to see if you like gaming on paper? 30 square feet is about enough to map 3 Goodman Games Dungeon Crawl Classic modules. And with it being a roll, you won’t have to split up the map into two pages like you do with the easel.

Sharpies don’t bleed through the easel pad either, btw.

It lays fairly flat right off the roll. However, it is quite light, so some well placed paperweight might be a good idea.

Thanks for this review! I’ve used huge graph paper up to this point, but the price was simply becoming daunting.

My big question is how did the fact that it’s a ROLL of paper affect the map’s ability to lay flat? Miniatures are light weight and can never be counted upon to hold paper flat. Does this map have a curve to it that’s hard to get rid of or does it lie flat?

Great review Trask

Product looks solid. Don’t know if i’d personly go with it though. I would need 3 rolls to match the same amount of surface area as a easel pad which would be the same price. And not to sure if being a roll is a selling point for me.

This is exactly the product I need for the Pathfinder AP #13. I had to draw that stupid Gambling hall over and over and over. This would have been nice to just draw it once and just pull it out each time I needed it.
