Here you go Boom. I finally remembered to take, and now upload, a pic of my classroom where I DM two public groups in 5e D&D. I put maps on the big board, and we can reference rules on the chromebooks or paper. I have purchased most of the pathfinder pawns and they combine great with the flip mats. Obviously we don't use all of this technology at the same time to play D&D, but it is fun to have access to $10,000 in tech to utilize in enhancing our games. 8)

Good times were had until a wild dire boar appeared!
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

i think that is entirely acceptable. Even a lesser version that was much quicker to make would be totally fine IMO.

If I could "like" your map Heegz, I would. Drawing those always was the start of any adventure/game/campaign for me.
It's one of the things I miss most about PnP.

For the record, I didn't draw that specific map. Although I have drawn much worse and much nicer maps. Cartography is something I didn't realize I enjoyed until I was in my thirties.

Dungeonworld, roll20... but roll20 audio has been known to crap out at inopportune times, and at least one of us has Skype crap out a lot. So we've even tried "Google Hangouts" which seemed to work ok.
