WHAT IT IS
MythLayer runs as a fullscreen overlay on top of a battlemap image or video — usually displayed on a TV, projector, or table-mounted screen. Your minis stay on the table. Your terrain stays physical. The DM keeps a laptop nearby with the overlay open, and a quick right-click brings up a radial menu to drop spell effects, area templates, distance measurements, scene tints, and dice rolls onto the map in real time.
Built for DMs who already have a battlemap display rig and want the visual punch of a virtual tabletop without turning the whole game into a remote-play setup.
THE TOOLKIT
Every feature reachable from the radial menu. The map stays full-screen and you stay in the moment.
HOW IT WORKS
Right-click for the menu. Pick a tool. Place it. The whole interaction model is three motions deep, every time.
WHERE IT FITS
MythLayer doesn't compete with Foundry or Roll20 — it serves DMs they don't. If your players sit at a table with miniatures and a battlemap display, this is your tool.

Foundry and Roll20 are excellent at what they do. They're just not built for the use case MythLayer is built for.
