[QUOTE="Nytmare, post: 4722729, member: 55178"] I've got a couple programs like that lurking around on my computer somewhere, but what I was really angling for with that map was something where the player had a little set of tools, and that once we started playing, I didn't have to adjust my DMing routine at all. I just move stuff around on the real life map like normal, and if he needs to, he can move stuff around on his virtual sketchpad to help himself view things tactically. Though, I guess it might help translate his directions on where to stick his chit on the real board. We had a couple instances of "Left, no left. MY left" last time we played, and that might get to be a pain if we don't come up with a workable shorthand. As it stands, this is only meant as a one player/special circumstance kind of thing. I've already warned my other players that me coming up with this stuff isn't an excuse for them to decide that they are going to play from home cause they don't feel like putting on pants. If I were running things for a totally web based game, I'd use something like what you're talking about in a heartbeat though. [/QUOTE]
