My group has 4 players on laptops, and we were talking about how cool it'd be to use digital maps. So I got to thinking, and I've been messing around with Bing Maps and Google Maps seeing what I could do with them, and I like what I can do with their maps.
It'd be awesome to have the entire table looking at the same map with gang territories overlaid and patrol routes, throwing out points for sniper nests and planning heists. But is it too gimmicky? I've also been looking into getting building plans and blueprints of random buildings, and using them during missions to make planning and combats smoother. Are there gaming aids that people find really add to the fun of planning (and running) missions, and/or enhance the atmosphere? |
