I was thinking for movement having strings with inches marked out for movement speeds, probably having .5in being adjecent. Most other things would remain the same squares = inches.any other ideas?You could also look into Old School Hack, or the way FF's Star Wars: Edge of The Empire handles distance. I hate EoTE with...fairly apothetic sort of hatred, but that one thing they did manage to do well.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29780523/4e_Gridless,_not_mapless,_but_gridless.?post_id=529884183#529884183You could also look into Old School Hack, or the way FF's Star Wars: Edge of The Empire handles distance.

Seriously, that's all my group did, and we have no use of a grid anymore. No rules conversion, nothing.

It's far supperior to the grid because you can position your mini exactly where you want to. If a craracter wants to move at 30 degrees N by NW they can.
