[QUOTE="Blue Max Studios, post: 5457978, member: 100293"] Why use a table? The advantage of a projector (and Mini-counter on separate Photoshop/GIMP layers) is that the battle map can be projected on a [I]wall[/I]. This leaves the table free for books, sheets and dice-not to mention the fact that spills and crumbs are safely away from the action. Also, if the minis are traditional unpainted metal (most non-star wars sci-fi ones still are, aren't they?) then the time required to sand, paint, assemble and otherwise prep a handful of minis can yield a map, a huge number of mini-tiles and still end up costing less. I'm not suggesting that miniature collecting and wargame play should be replaced; after all, they are a hobby within themselves. For me personally, I want a convenient way to keep the action going in an RPG, and I think that projectors and jpg files may be the way to go. [/QUOTE]
