    Can you post (and make it a sticky) in the forums the different ways D20 pro can be setup such as single PC, multiple pc, etc with display options and so on as well as how to do all of them step by step? I ask this because I can see the obvious methods already but right now I have only one PC and so I will need to use to to display a players view and gm view on separate displays. Which made me realize that such information would be really helpful to the community.

    Heres how I use D20Pro:

    It is a game table with a projector on the inside that bounces an image off a mirror and onto a frosted Plexi-Glass table surface which acts essentially like a 3ft x 3ft. computer monitor. The projector gets the image from my laptop which uses D20Pro. I use D20Pro just for projecting Battlemaps onto the game table.

    I also use a software called Blue Soleil which allows my laptop to recognize a Wii-Mote that acts like a signal reciever for an infra-Red pen. the infra-red pen acts like a mouse after I use Smartboard. Smartboard is a software that allows the game tables monitor surface to be mapped out in a manipulatable area where the infra-red pen can be used.

    It sounds difficult but its really quite easy. (This coming from a guy who is somewhat computer literate.)


    You can get most of these softwares for free but I suggest paying for them so you get all the needed updates and the softwares are wayyyy easier to use in thier non-demo form.

    I also use old Baldurs gate and Icewind dale GIF animations for some of the monsters and Spell animations. Heres a link to some of them:

    They bring a new aspect to D20Pro.
