So I'm running a AP for my friends and i seriously don't know how i'm supposed to handle larger maps. At the start, I had access to a TV table, which solved a lot of problems, but since the host moved houses, that is no longer an option.
I've been drawing out the regular-sized maps on a blank game mat or flip map before sessions for the group, but they're getting close to the next chapter, a large, multi-level dungeon with multiple encounters, and I am honestly a bit stumped on what to do. If that wasn't enough, I also have limited mobility and rely on a wheelchair when GMing.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
What about a virtual table top? Is having everyone on their laptop a nonstarter? In which case, maybe a projector?

About 3 out of 5 players used either a laptop or tablet during the session; otherwise, everyone does have a phone with Internet access and a Discord channel where we can message each other. We did play online for a bit during COVID, but everyone, me included, prefers in-person over online.
Currently, we're playing on the dining table, which has enough room for either everyone's stuff and a flip map or game mat, or the TV Table.te

So if 3 out of 5 players are already using devices, putting everyone in the same room but also on foundry seems viable.
A single big TV instead of a projector does in my experience also Work
Jut got to Hook it Up to the gm Laptop and have everybody look at it
