The only way I can think of requires a scanner and picture editing software, like Photoshop. You can scan the map as a JPEG, crop down the section you want, and copy it into your chat room.

I give you credit for trying to run such a huge and complex adventure online. Good luck.

Have you considered trying Fantasy Grounds? It's specifically designed to emulate tabletop roleplaying over the Internet. You can even share portions of a map by "unmasking" and releasing to the players the areas you want them to be able to see.

no i didn't know about that site i will give it a go...scanning the map then cropping sections out and sending those via the IM worked fairly well just a bit time consuming to set up but i got pretty fast at it.Thanks Asberdies for the heads up and i'll try the other site also Amaril..
