Guys, I need some opinions. I'm a new DM, running my newbie friends through the starter set. We're one session in. First session went well, and we used no physical maps or minis.

I have a bunch of Warhammer, so using minis isn't a problem. My question is: should I print out the big cool maps and use them for the dungeons? My worry is that they'll see the entire dungeon instead of using their imagination and my explanations. The advantage seems that it would make combat more fun, and people (I think) love having a map to move minis on.

What do you think? I can also try to draw a map as we go, but I'm shit at drawing and obviously the real maps look amazing and have lots of detail.

Either option is fine. There's room for imagination even with maps. You can always say 'behind this wall there's actually a secret door' or something.

I wonder if there's a secret door behind the wall in his image

Print a larger version of the maps and then cut up a blank sheet of paper into 4square chunks, as the players move through the dungeon (you should have a map so you'll be able to know what they can and can't see) remove those paper chunks, before removing the chunks, describe the room.

you can always cover the unvisited rooms with paper

I didn't think of this. I think I'll try this approach!
