[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 2949085, member: 20741"] Our projector rigs are quite portable - we've moved them before. They take about 2 minutes to set up - if that. I ended up wanting one at my own place as well - instead of just at my friends where we usually game. So there isa DLP there and an LCD at my own place. MY wife and I use it for movies mainly which is why I wanted one here. We game here once or twice a month. I can load a map in about 2 seconds. If I had to freehand it first in the toolset - I can create a map that will leave your jaw on the floor in about 1-2 minutes, max. :) There is not a chance - not even 1 in 1,000,000, that you could approach a map with the size and level of detail I can create in NWN1 in 2 minutes if you gave a wet-erase pen to each of your players and were psionically linked as you drew it. Plus - digital maps scroll as the players progress - Battlemats don't. (That's why Tact-tiles are lauded as being so cool in the first place). The whole independently weatlhy line is a crock. Our group each pitched in to buy our DLP projector for a tad under $600. It costs each of us about the same as the 3.5 Core Rules. We could get it for less now. The number of gamers on ENWorld who have spent more on a single case of D&D minis is probably in the thousands. On game books? It's in the tens of thousands. "Independently wealthy" is nonsense. Once you go digital - you won't ever willingly go back to a battlemat/flip-mat/tactiles - doesn't matter. [/QUOTE]
