I've been looking for a tool that seems quite similar to this but only for face to face roleplaying. What I want to do is at a minimum have my maps available, and then be able to move the players around on the map and reveal only the sections they have seen. Being able to draw a rough map of a room at a moments notice (for spontaneous encounters) and use it as a battle map would also be helpful. Basically move from using miniatures and a table top map to using a projected battle map on a wall or TV. If I could then also display info/detail on the players stats, info on monsters, etc that would be great.

Can I use this software (or even just a subset) to get this functionality? If not, are there any plans for it? If no plans, anyone know of software that can do this? Getting back the table space that a LARGE battle map takes up would be great, and I am already using a laptop for other things during the game as is.

I looked at one of those links and was wondering if anyone knew where to find that NwN maps tool-set? Also how easy is it to use? Right now I'm using a mix of Dundjinni and Maps from mag. that I edit in paint. I spend entirely to much time fixing maps and creating new maps for there not to be a easier way. The maps on one of those web site is awesome and I would love to know where to get maps like those and how to make them. I got Dundjinni and was highly disappointed in its quality.

You have to buy Neverwinter Nights (https://www.uk.atari.com/index.php?pg=product&id=78), it's a cRPG for PC, published by Atari and developed by BioWare. I would rather stay with Dundjinni.
