    Tabletop Area of Effect templates, which sizes would be helpful for you?

    So I may be producing some spell area of effect templates to sell soon. Playing a wizard at the local library weekly game, needed to measure "20ft radius" and "10ft radius" a lot. So I came up with an interesting set of templates. Seems to be a unique design, top secret though, it's an idea that will probably be copied instantly once I try to sell a few.

    Now the common games, your DnD's, your Pathfinders, use the 1in is 5ft scale, and for Dnd it seems that 30ft may be the biggest to may have to measure often, though there are some 40ft and even 60ft radius spells, but from a practical standpoint you have areas that could be measured by "entire table". So lets say a 40ft could be handy, if cumbersome to store, template. Any bigger and it's bigger than most grid maps used by casual players.

    But what about other games? Specifically circles. I'm not familiar with Warhammer40K so I have no idea if they have any area of effect stuff that may need to be measured.

    So what would you be wanting from gaming circle templates? Even the stuff that would normally be too large to lug around.

    Got some interesting ideas for Cones and Squares I'm working on as well, so if you have a particular size of those you'd need, let me know.

    Most game sessions, as DM, I feel like I'm lugging a small plant's worth of books, figures, dice, maps, etc. So having a template that folded up for transport would be appreciated. Off the top of my head (at work right now), my D&D table's popular AoE spells include Fireball, Shatter, Thunderwave (15' square), and some dragonborn breath weapons (30' cones I think).

      How would you feel about a single template that stored the size of a 10ft radius template (4" diameter), but could measure 15ft, 20ft, 25ft, and 30ft with out having to pull out another template? One variation could measure even larger sizes of circles.

      I may send you some pictures over private message later tonight of the prototypes.

      Sorry for the delay. Had a few designs not work out and a screw up on some material I ordered off Amazon. When possible, do NOT order materials off Amazon.

      Just waiting for some glue to dry, though I may need to use a different type of glue in the final product.
