This is really neat. If you got a large-format X-Y pen plotter, you could get it to play D&D, exploring a large dungeon map, having skirmishes, etc. This would be even better with a flatbed plotter, rather than a rolling one.
I love these devices, though they're expensive to run. We used the large-format HP pen plotters for various large software analysis&design diagrams, and for keeping huge project management charts posted. On the side, I wrote an optimizer that would take an HP-GL file and optimize for pen travel (shorten time spent between pen-up and pen-down positions for various graphics operations) and for pen changes.
