That goes for anyone else who's got a digital projection setup going -- this is a topic that could really use a nice step by step guide for GMs. Frost, if you do give this a shot I’d love to hear about it in our forums, or as a guest post for TT.

I have been using Dundjinni to make maps for quite some time. Unfortunately, very quickly on, I learned how expensive it is to print them out. Even when purchasing generic ink cartridges, it still costs me about 50 cents per page. With most maps coming in at around 16 pages, it can get costly. I tried the route of showing the maps on the computer screen and then passing the wireless mouse around so players could move their "virtual" minis. Although the maps looked great on the monitor, it just didn't have the same impact moving actual minis around on a battle map. If I can find a projector in that $300 range, I'll be ready to go.

It's a shame that all the pre-editing of the maps to make them work is something that I would really stink at doing. :) *drools*.
