Hi, I really like the map-making functionality in Fantasy Grounds (Unity) but one issue with slowly moving away from Online-sessions to physical sessions, how can I bring all my maps to the table? It's not every time we have access to a big TV screen / projector. I tried the FG Print tool, but it doesn't seem to allow me to chose the FGU folder. Does FG Print Tool not work with FGU? And if not, what are my options in terms of using my maps at the table when we can't pull the maps up on a big TV screen?

You can't print out maps or indeed any images.

1. get old flat screen TV and lay on table
2. use this extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?33834-Map-resize-to-TV-resolution-for-Face-To-Face-games) to resize to 1" squares

Or use a screen capture tool. But it won't print well unless you screen capture lots and lots of tiles/pieces. Even a high res screen is only a few inches across when printed at typical 300 dpi.
