I used a projector in the first version of the game table, but it was contained inside the game table.
The newest version of the table utilizes a Samsung 40" LED TV that I mounted into the table with a universal flat panel mount kit.
I connect the 40" LED TV to my laptop which has D20Pro, the software I use to present and manipulate the Battle maps.
D20Pro is a Virtual Table Top (VTT) program that allows pen-and-paper gaming groups to play online.
I just use D20Pro for its ability to: --Present and manipulate the maps. --Utilize its Fog of War features. --Use gif animations for spell effects, Monster animations, and animated objects. (most of which I got here: [link] and then personalized the gif animations with "Easy Gif Animator", A program that allows you to tweak gif animations' speed and amount of images in the animation.)
As for the map I used, Its a map I made in MS Paint with these Battle map tiles: [link]
If you ever need any cool battlemaps, go here: [link] Its the "MAPS" section of drivethruRPG.com. The maps are in PDF format and you might have to piece them together but their well worth it. Sometimes they come already put together or you could just explain to the publisher of the map that you bought their map and would like to ask if they would send you the pieced together version of the map you bought they most times are willing to do it.
Although maptools is just as good.
What was used to make the dungeon?
