Hi everybody, pretty quick question here I think!
So far in my playgroup, we've never used any sort of playing board - however, our DM is considering buying/making one now just for the ease of well, seeing where everything is in combat, keeping track of movement, etc.
My question is, is there a 'standard' size of the squares/hexes on these boards? I'm really only asking so if I base up a miniature, I can be sure the base fits in one of the squares/hexagons. Obviously, if there's no standard size at all, then I could go for any old base. But if there is a standard size, I would kind of like a base that fits, seeing as it's such an easy thing for me to get right.
Weirdly I've just tried googling 'D&D 5e Playing boards' expecting to find a load for sale with their specs, but after a quick look I've only seen one, with no specs. I didn't actually know hexed boards were a thing until yesterday when I saw a photo of one, so apparently they are used, but am I right to think they're not used as much?
As usual any and all information is really appreciated, thanks for reading!
