It's usually applied as an accident, you know. Footmap? Gosh, I don't know. I Googled the term, and I came up with two hits -- both Treasure Tables entries I'd made, which is kinda weird when you think about it. You don't think I made it up? I suspect, though, it has roots in wargaming, which has always been big in central Illinois. The term probably drifted in from there.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('977','Troy E.

PS: You're the only person I've ever heard use the term "footmap." Where did you pick it up?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('955','Martin Ralya'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> So…what’s the trick to removing permanent marker from flip mats?
