I have many ideas of how I may want to present my game when using Realm Works. With an at home table with a monitor embedded for a map or two monitors next to me one facing the PC and the other for my content. I have event looked at making it portable to bring the presentation to my local game shop by rigging up a pocket sized projector and hanging it above the table for Maps and such.
I would like to hear or see from all you what kinds of presentations you use with your game and Realm Works.

I usually play at home, so I use my TV as a second monitor for my computer and show my Realm to my players using that.

I had to link them using an HDMI cable and then fiddle with the settings to get my computer to see the TV as a second screen. It works quite well for that, and allows me to slowly reveal section of villages, towns or dungeons or other maps. For my maps I use either ones that have turned up in published adventures or that I've drawn in Campaign Cartographer, which is software for designing things based on CAD.

Here's some photos of mine. I played on upgrading the projector one day to the biggest TV possible built into a table.

That is way cool. I wish I had a whole room I could devote to gaming! Oh, well, I'll have to wait for the lottery win.

At present I use a second monitor that I turn towards the players. Previously I tried using a projector to put the screen on the wall above my head but it just wasn't bright enough unless I turned the lights down so low that we couldn't see to roll dice or move minis.

The thread "What does your game table look like?" is all about how the setups folks have for using RW at the table.
