In this episode Jeff and Tracy sit down with guests Ishmael Alvarez, Mike Shea, and Sam Dillon to discuss map use in your D&D games. The use of maps and minis necessarily differs from so-called theater of the mind play, and this group discusses the ins and outs of both methods. Lots of great tips and advice come out the discussion no matter which style you prefer.
