At GenCon, I released a new product that has cross-system appeal: Dry-Erase Map Tiles. These 1-inch tiles come in packs of 12 (three each of red, yellow, green, and blue), and their glass surface makes them perfect for dry-erase markers.
I had only a limited stock of these available at GenCon, and they sold out in less than 2 hours! Since so many out there didn’t get a chance to pick up a pack, I’ve made a point of getting them back in stock right away. Best of all, at $2.99 per pack you can afford to get extras if you need to run a particularly large battle!
Here’s the complete item description:
Dry-Erase Map Tiles - $2.99
These dry-erase map tiles come in 1-inch squares, perfect for any game that uses miniatures and battle maps. These smooth-edged tiles are made of glass and come in an assortment of colors. Their weight helps them to stay put on the battle map, and the possible applications are limited only by your imagination:
One pack will easily handle most battles, and even the biggest and most epic conflicts will rarely need more than two or three. Add one to your game master’s toolkit today! |

Have you given thought to other size beyond the 1 inch size (2×2, 3×3, etc) to represent vehicles or other map features?

Yes, I’m experimenting with some 2×2 tiles right now — if they work out and complement the 1-inch tiles well, I’ll add them to the store within the next month or so. I haven’t found good 3×3 tiles yet, but I’m still looking.
