A part of it looked cool and it reminded me of an idea I've had for a puzzle dungeon that fizzled out. Anyway, I've been writing away and making additions to the map as I go. Crazy easy tool to use. I might have to scale this dungeon back though. Its easy to get carried away.

You've got lots of new DMs and players - myself included - so I would like to get a video on recommended techniques to incorporate pre-made maps and other tools into our game sessions. Like, how to print Dungeon Scrawl (or other) maps on a home printer so they scale 1:1; how to use a digital screen or projector for a map; techniques for using large, multi-page maps; how to incorporate fog of war; etc. Keep up the great work!

Seriously, one of the best options in this program, it has an Isometric Mode. Most Dungeons for fantasy style games, are going to be multi layered.
