A system of magnetic and magnetic receptive components used in a tabletop role-playing game. The system includes at least one magnetic receptive terrain board depicting an outdoor terrain or other environment, where the terrain board may be two-sided. The system further includes a variety of flexible single-sided or double-sided magnets depicting characters or natural/man-made features and structures which can be attached to the terrain board, and either left in place or moved during game play. Also included are magnetic-base stands which can hold the character/feature magnets in an adjustable position indicating the item's status, and other magnetic accessories which visually designate environmental factors and other status information and thereby enhance the playing of the game.
