You can use PowerPoint to create fog of war effects and other animations that make it fun.  I am NOT playing on a LAN or on Roll 20 etc. I’m playing at a table with my friends and we all sit around the TV set that is sitting on the table   My question is, who else is doing this?  It seems like such an obvious solution to getting good quality graphics on the game board, I can’t believe I’m the only one, and PowerPoint is such a common program, it seems like it would be easy put 2&2 together and do this trick.   Also, where can I find maps & graphics?  I know about DeviantArt, Dunjinni, and D20 Mapshare.  Are there other sights?
