[QUOTE="Greybird, post: 6439980, member: 84152"] I've got a big gaming table, and it is set up right in front of my 42" TV. The TV has a computer running into it that I use for watching videos from time to time. The TV is horribly neglected when it comes to gaming. Other than occasionally displaying an image ("It looks like this!"), it doesn't do much of anything. I'd love to be able to use it to display area maps for the party, and would love it even more if I could uncover areas one at a time as needed without jumping through a bunch of steps. I wouldn't complain if I could use it for designing maps as well, although this is secondary. I do not care about: mechanics or system (this will be used with good old fashioned dice and paper), character sheets, tracking stats, moving 'miniatures' around on the map, online functionality, etc. I don't care of that stuff is there, but it won't be used. I just need something that lets me interact with a map I design/scan in a meaningful way while at the table. There is a plethora of online software out there, so much of it that it really hampers the ability to search for something less popular, but related (I it isn't practical to learn and test a dozen different programs to find one that will work.) So, what is this piece of software I'm looking for? [/QUOTE]
