Usually, I have a separate black layer on top of the map (Photoshop). I then use a soft-edge eraser brush to "erase" the shadows. You have to know your map, but I find this is pretty quick and easy for me (with only occasional screw ups).

You can calculate how many pixel's per inch your TV is, then make your maps fit that. Or if you're lazy like me (and use a program like Photoshop to run your maps), you can simply zoom in on the map until the scale is correct.

Just so people aren't put off of this solution-- I use the same size Plasma (actually it's 42") for TV viewing, and the heat it puts off is in an entire different league than my gaming LED. We play in a fairly small place (1 DM/6 players) and no one has noticed any heat issues. YMMV.

I tote a cheap 43" LED flatscreen (base removed) to games. I slide it onto the table and run maps on Photoshop from my laptop via an HDMI cable. Easy peasy. Since its not a Plasma, heat is not a problem. I've considered getting a piece of thick clear plastic to protect the screen, but honestly...

I think that it's usually best to take a "the show must go on" attitude to scheduling. Now with that said, I'd advise against scheduling games on major holidays-- so in this case, you probably reschedule. If you do decide to run, I strongly suggest that you do NOT simply have him "poof" out of...

Sure a 1st level PC CAN survive a fireball IF the spell rolls average AND they make a save. The point is that damage scaling in 5E goes up abruptly at 5th. In my own game, my PCs are now 5th, but they recently took a liking to a 1st level "henchmen" who they bring along everywhere-- like a...

What about AOE damage? I don't think the problem is that the low level members can't contribute meaningful damage and heals, it's that they have zero chance of surviving a CR appropriate evil NPC's fireball (as one example). I'd suppose you either building encounters soft on such damage or...

I found it excellent for managing a campaign and my notes. I wouldn't say players need a computer at the table, but the gamemaster will if he wants access to his notes.

Thanks for the reply, Liz. I actually took and followed the results of the survey. However, since print/export isn't one of the main priorities, and since the dev staff has commented several times that it isn't an easy fix, I'm not expecting it anytime soon. When/if it is implemented, I'll...

I've owned Realmworks for awhile now and while I love many things about the program, I've stopped using it. My central concern is there is no easy way to get your content out of the program once it's in other than laboriously copying and pasting. You cannot print and you can not export...
