Gaming Paper Roll - 1" Square Beige RPG Mat - 30"x12"

I constructed a 4'x8' table for table top gaming and used this product as a grid underlay below acrylic sheets. For this purpose I think it is very good; although the 30" width meant I had to overlap 2 rolls, which was mildly troublesome, hence 4 stars. But I think the reviews I read failed to capture exactly what this is, so I wanted to explain: This is simply wrapping paper which bears as its pattern a likeness to a Chessex Battlemat. The thickness, surface finish, texture, etc. are exactly like a mid to high grade wrapping paper while the color scheme is eerily similar to a Battlemat. If I had to guess, the squares on the front of this paper are identical to the squares that are often printed on the back of more expensive wrapping papers to help those of us who are scissor challenged to cut in a straight line, so I wouldn't count on precision sizing or alignment. All I can attest to is that across 8 feet, the total offset between the printings of 2 rolls was less than the width of the printed lines (ie the squares line up on both ends of my table). That said, the price seems a little high considering you could probably just flip a $2 roll of wrapping paper and get a similar product, but I don't mind supporting people who support gaming.

I have a D&D game and wanted a basic map that I could draw on to form battle-mats.I hate the mats that use the water soluble ink because they are messy. I wanted to use Dry-Erase markers. I knew before I ordered this that the product alone wouldn't be able to do that. At Lowes (or Home Depot, etc) I bought a sheet clear lexan. The paper went onto the table first and then was covered by the lexan...... it was EXACTLY what I wanted.The paper: Thin tan gift-wrap with the 1" grid - but long enough to cover the table (and then some).Everything else: A product of my invention.So If you want to get a piece of clear plastic to put over it to use dry-erase markers..... great. If not...... probably just cheap paper.

I really wish I could give this paper 5 stars. The roll is generous and arrived well-packaged. It is as described. However, the description is not quite thorough enough. The paper has a slick texture which is probably fine in most instances but is not usable for what I had intended. I'm sure most people will not find that a problem. I'm keeping the paper because I'm hoping my students and I will be able to use it for something in the classroom.

One roll of this paper is about the size of three maps drawn on a battlemat. Buy more than one roll if you buy.Pads of easel paper from Office Depot offer a better value -- they are about half as much per square, and you get ten times as many squares. The easel paper is nice and white and holds any kind of marker easily.Google "gaming paper in use" for a discussion board thread about this product.I recommend to the shipper that they pack this product in a cardboard shipping tube. I got it in two half-boxes taped together into one 8x36 box, full of packing peanuts. In a tube, it wouldn't have kinked and I could have carried the maps I drew in the tube.

I use this gaming paper for playing table top RPG's. It's a deep tan color rather than the white I expected. That's ok, but I would have preferred white for the way I use it. (I place a large acetate sheet over the grid paper and draw my maps on the acetate.)The paper is thinner than I expected, about the thickness of decent wrapping paper. It seems to be coated with a substance to limit absorption of liquids which is good.

The product is exactly what it claims to be, a cheap but effective way to add a gridded surface to a tabletop experience. I didn't have any trouble drawing on it with a variety of pens. I will probably buy more when my current roll runs out but the product seems durable enough to last for quite a while.

i bought this to run a D&D trial campign on to tease an expansion and i thought it was perfect for tabletop gaming use. the lines are easy to see and go by. Mine had a tan tint to it so it wasnt just a blinding white peice of paper and it worked nicely. While i do wish a little more came on the roll i easily got 3 maps and likely another couple maps left on the roll but when that is gone i would buy another roll easily. you may find a lower price somewhere else for something that is close but i think this is where your quality lies.

The paper is almost exactly like wrapping paper, so be warned there, but that shouldn't be an issue honestly. The grids are great and its perfect for making maps for one use or multiple uses. Personally I do both: I have one map that I drew on it and placed a piece of glass over it so my players and I could draw on the glass with sharpies/dry erase markers and I've also used it for a few maps that I wound up tossing after one use.
