pen and paper
our group invariably knock the table around ,spill beer ,herring,ashes or tobacoo,sneeze on it or just fumble something that makes minis etc unpractical -
I love them though -and would like to use them ,but no..
drawing a map on graphing paper/grid paper .
using simplified symbols from regular maps and symbols from the map key.
A small circle with PCs initials mark players.
Nothing gets put on until spotted.
It makes for a mess though -after a few rounds there are crisscrossing lines and paths and symbols all over the place ..
good thing is that it is versatile ,and that you can whip it up in a manner of minutes .
Otherwise we use google earth alot and a laptop to show pictures and maps and then "zoom in " and draw a map.
