I'm saying that if a GM needs to put on the table an "homemade" full map he can easily virtually create and print it. In squares or hexes.

Yes, it was clear that you weren’t talking about single tiles. But my printer still can only print 8.5 by 11 inches at once. And it can’t print on anything heavier than light card stock. And it can’t print on a dry-erase surface. So even if I’m not creating individual tiles, I still don’t see how I can avoid mounting & some sort of lamination.

OK, so let’s say I skip the lamination and live without that feature. Am I going to try to play on several letter sized pieces of light card stock just laid out? I’ve tried that, and that doesn’t work. The pages don’t stay aligned and—even if they did—they’re too easily displaced.

So how do you make this work?
