What size TV are you using?

70" Vizio for the win.

Kurt Stoffer

There will be adjustable grid size, and I’ll provide a chart showing which size fit to which screen sizes. Coming soon!

Dynamic Dungeons

For the editor will the editor will the selection process be based on screen size rather than scale? IE something like a pull down tab where we select screen size (for example: 31in widescreen) and it adjusts the grid to be 1in for that size?

I'm using a 32" now, but your maps are one of the main reasons I'm considering upgrading to a bigger tv, so while I selected 32" I may be shooting myself in the foot! Also, what is the map on display above? That's awesome. I could use it tomorrow if it were out!

Lou Anders

Awsome work! Is there a possibility for any futuristic maps, like warhammer style. Personaly i run a campaign of Dark Heresy and would be very handy. Also is there a way to download everything in one link instead of clicking all links in every post?

My last reply doesn't seem to have stuck for some reason. Anyway, thanks for the incredibly fast reply. I didn't expect that. I'm not sure what file types Patreon accepts, but can you upload Zip files potentially? That would allow you to bundle all of one variation into a single download.

The problem is that the file size limits on Patreon are 200Mb. I was thinking on making archives zipped in several parts, but I found it more difficult. As you know, there are different donation levels with different content, which is a hard job at the time of the rendering process. Even a single map pack has at least 8-10 variations.

Dynamic Dungeons

Wow, super fast reply. I'll think of a few formats and show you what I'm thinking. I don't know the ins and outs of Patreon, but is it possible to have upload zip files? That way you could load whole file sets into a single download.

You’re absolutely right. I’m open for any suggestions to make it better organized.

Dynamic Dungeons

Awesome content - you're the only reason I joined Patreon. The only thing I'll say for you to improve on right now is the organization & naming of these files; it's really rough. Having to scroll through and compare each name to make sure I've got the complete file set is a bit of a disaster. For example, your post: "Red Rocks Encounter / Underdark Cave animated GRID, GRIDLESS with sound" - Why put these together? Either put them all as one pack (the Red Rocks map pack) OR post them all separately as variation packs, i.e., 1. Red Rocks Day 2. Red Rocks Night 3. Red Rocks Desert 4. Red Rocks Underdark And the names are all over the place. The way I named my files, if you care, is like this: "Desert, Gridless, Red Rocks Encounter" and then I put them into the individual folder for that set. Again, amazing content, very frustrating download downloads/archiving due to file-naming/organization. Thanks again!

I'm probably in the minority, but I haven't made the jump to a digital mapping surface yet. I run a game at my local game store as well as one at home and I'm kind of waiting to find an option that will work for both locations.

One of my players built a wood frame with a plexiglass cover for the tv we use (32 in). Have not had any issues with the maps or sizing or resolution, everything works greats. We can't get enough! The audio for the scenes are awesome as well. Keep up the good work!

I'm using a 49" 1080p TV for my digital projection. I"ve been using a custom-written piece of software that I used for various aspect of my game space (I have 4 displays running via my laptop), which I'm in the process of extending to support my use of these dynamic dungeons, as well as resize them as needed for my needs (since my screen results in 1.22" squares).

we use a an ultrawide monitor so unfortunately or fortunately (depending) there's a bit of space left on the sides to put other things. nickels and dimes and such fit pretty well still, if a bit cramped (but it adds to the realism of people being that close to each other bumping around).

Wow this video rocks, thank you guys, and the outcome of the construction is amazing!

Dynamic Dungeons

I do both; I run a Roll20 campaign using static maps, and a pen and papaer campaign using the dynamic maps. Spectacular work, thank you.

Speaking of TV sizes, I decided to build a table with an old TV I had once I found this Patreon. IF you're interested, please check out the "how to video" we did with a shout out to Dynamic Dungeons! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03x1CtiwaxI&amp;t=4s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03x1CtiwaxI&amp;t=4s</a>

How can we post a picture? I will post a photo of the 50'' I am using inside my gaming table

Wow! Can we have a picture about your table in action? Feel free to post in the community section.

Dynamic Dungeons

I built a portable gaming table with a 43 inch tv. It has a wood frame and cut-in handles so I can take it to the gaming store. It's smaller than if I'd done it as a static build, but I can throw it in the back of my car and carry it to the gaming store to run games there.

I don't use one at all.

Jan Schattling

I'm on an ultra short throw projector, so size varies for me, but been happy with the grid sizes so far

Lone Wolf

Looking forward to being able to resize the grid =)

Robert T Jordan IV

The scale you are currently using works perfect for me.

Rick Stringer

actually on a 50" tv it's to scale 1".

Blue Phoenix RPG

Just built a frame for my 65" 4k. On a 4x6 table it has 7" to spare on all sides. Here's a link to my build featuring Dynamic Dungeons. <a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/rFtUa5z" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://imgur.com/gallery/rFtUa5z</a>

42 inch Panasonic plasma.

I play on a 40', I've been photshopping your maps to fit my story, so far so good. I also use Photoshop to display the maps so I can erase a black layer (fog of war), as well as add AOE spells, line spells and Torchlight. I also use layers to show secrets when they spot them and a picture of a weapon when someone drops it. These last ideas might be easy to implement in your player as well!

Lars Rietkerk

I play on two TVs, a 49 and a 50 inch 4K

Using a 55” 4k right now, but 1080 is great for the maps. The 4k filesizes would just be massive and i bet my laptop would struggle to play.

Where did you buy the plexiglass cover, and about how much was it?

I'm still working on my setup, but I've purchased a projector and I'm mounting it above my table. Initial testing was good, so I think it'll work fine. I decided not to go with a TV because I don't have room for a second table, which means I'd be moving a TV onto and then off the table every session and that didn't sound like a good time. If I could have a second table with the screen permanently built into the table, I think that would be the ideal.

We went with the cheapest "large-ish" TV Walmart sold for our game. Happened to be a 40" (Sceptre 40" Class FHD, 1080P, LED TV [X405BV-FSR]) and it also conveniently lays flat on a table without any addition supports. I also bought a sheet of plexiglass to protect the screen because a lot of the players like to roll on the TV. I finished it by creating a stand using simple square tube from Home Depot (<a href="http://imgur.com/a/V7xqDST" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://imgur.com/a/V7xqDST</a>) All-in-all, not a bad purchase!

Dean

Right now 32" 1080p but hopefully buying the father in laws 60" 4k when he upgrades here in a month or two
