David,
    (/roleplaying mode on, small bhudist monk voice)  "Ah, but we keep our 
ancient traditions presicely because they are quaint and to remind us of 
where we come from."  (/roleplaying mode off)  Really, I'll play on any kind 
of map.  I just enjoy slapping out the old mega hexes.  And it's kinda nice 
to maintain the flavor my campaigns have had for so many years.

    Sounds quite colorfull.  Mine is rather black and white in contrast.  I 
never though of using rail road grass, or any other texture material, to the 
tops of the sheets before.
    There is another reason I use mega hexes.  Quite a bit of mythology has 
built up around magic being tied to the exact shape of the mega hexes, in my 
campaigns.  A summoned creature can only appear in the wizard's mega mega 
hex.  So which mega hex they are standing in can affect things greatly.  But 
like I said, it's just a bit of tradition the players have come to expect in 
my campaigns.
