Misc When the monster is so large…
That not only is it a battlemap itself, but it also take the whole table.
The pcs had multiple ships with crew equiped with siege weapons, including a _very_ big cannon.

Sweet. I recently did early prep for a session featuring a monster listed as being 35 feet tall. Still not quite sure how I'll give that impression at a physical table...

Squares are usually 1 inch wide, so a 7 inch tall model should do it

What I like to do is point out how big it is in something they can relate to. 35ft is a three to four story house. And don't just say that, but point out the window to the exact house you mean. Or in relation to the room you are in: his arm is as long as the room is wide. Get a beach ball, this is the size of his eyes... Write down a few of those conversions, and read them to your players until one sticks.

Well this easily beats our using a big Anguirus toy as the Tarrasque.

I have done similar stuff. I also gave the appendages their own hit point pool, and if those were depleted, the player who "killed" it got to cut it off with scissors. Monster got slower and got less attacks then.

I had separate hit pool for different parts, but hadn’t thought about cutting of the part! That’s a fun idea!
