Question 1

How do I use ambience scenes with a projector for D&D?

Accepted Answer

Search for the scene's YouTube search term, play it fullscreen on your laptop, and connect to a mini projector pointed at the wall behind the DM. Use a Bluetooth speaker for the ambient audio. Match the projector brightness to the scene mood -- low for dungeons and crypts, high for boss fights and storms.

Question 2

What equipment do I need for D&D ambience projection?

Accepted Answer

A mini projector (budget options from around 40 pounds work well), a laptop with YouTube, and a Bluetooth speaker. Point the projector at the wall behind the DM screen. That's the complete setup -- keep it simple so you can focus on running the game.
