#Posterazor cutout poster windows
The room we play in has a roof-mounted projector (pointing at a wall unfortunately, not down onto a table) and so I hook my laptop up to that, running with a dual monitor setup (one screen just for me to see and I move windows over onto the "second monitor" to bring stuff onto the projector so the players can see). I'm running a short one-shot campaign so I put together something a little special.
Not trying to shill for DP's map or anything, but I really do love it (so much I bought a second one ) Use it with our alea tools magnetic markers for pretty much everything. Simply remove one of the pieces for each room or area reveal. You could draw the dungeon ahead of time without fear of ruining your battlemap and then place pieces of paper or cardboard (one-sided wotc dungeon tiles turned upside down work well for this) on top of the rooms and areas. This would also work really well for some dungeon crawls. One of our older battle grids is a dry-erase style but still has faded color marks from supposedly dry-erase markers. Even after weeks, it erased perfectly the first time and didn't leave a single mark on it. We would set the "overworld" map on a different table that we could use to track the party's movements while they were in a certain area. I've used this feature to draw an "overworld" map ahead of a game session and leave it on there for a couple weeks. That means you can draw on it with wet-erase markers that would normally destroy most dry-erase boards. It's magnetically receptive but not magnetic itself, and the coating on it is almost impossible to ruin. The magnets even conveniently come in different sizes, for differently sized monsters.If you don't mind spending a little money, Dark Platypus makes a battle map called the Magna-Map. The same office stores that sell the boards also sell little magnets for use on them, and you can tape little labels onto the paper for use players to use as markers for their characters. You can draw (or nominate an artistic player to draw) on the board with dry-erase markers, then erase with a tissue or scrap of cloth. We use a gridded magnetic white board, such as you can get in any major office supply store (or at a garage sale if you're lucky, which is where I found mine).
