One grid is about 100 feet? Now I can make a "huge" area in the toolset at about 32by24 grid. I can them "zoom" out and pretend that these are 5 foot grids. However. This has a number of problems.1 The graphics are not really "scaled" to this level. So at this extreme zoom out, a lot of the effects and images are frankly useless.2 The grid itself is the most annoying bright red colour, totally *ruins* the map.Now if there was some way of getting a grid onto it, maybe some transparent photoshop file that you can put into a texture? I don't know, but since the original pictures have been taken down, I have trouble believing that the NWN toolset in its current state would be any good at all.As for the VTT. I think I'm going the LCD route, less hassle, less DIY. Also the players hands wont cast shadows on the map.I'm going to simply buy a thin mount for about $40, take the platsic casing off the LCD, and then mount; the mount fixing itself will be screwed into a base of wood. Job done; I will worry about making a nice "box" for it afterwards.</blockquote>
