I'm starting an experiment with my group, where we are going to use an overhead projector to shoot down on our gaming table as a battlemat. (We are actually bouncing it off a mirror on the ceiling). No more moving books out of the way to draw-out crayola scenarios!

I am using Photoshop to make my own maps, put the hex grid on, do fog of war, lighting, etc. But it would be great if I could find pre-made encounter maps that I could download and just slap a hex template over, and voila! So if you know where to find any, please let me know.

Further, if anyone has any advice or ideas, I'd love to hear them. There is so much potential with this idea I want to suck your brains for further ideas!

Thanks
