![]() ![]() Maybe it requires a paid version to get something out of it, but with other options out there, it's daunting to be asked to spend $50 or more on a renewing subscription for a useable system with no real try out period.ĪrkenForge has reached out to me showing me what their system is capable of, so may check them out. However, the moment I leave the page, all my work disappears and I can't find any way to successfully save something so I can go back and actually use it for a play session. The only issue I've had is that using a laptop, all furniture and everything orients one direction, so it's weird to have, but.not a huge deal in the end game. Nice system and able to get going right away. ![]() May just wait and try again when they get to a finished product that actually works. That said, 5 hours in and no results pretty much tells me I need to cut my losses before wasting more time with this one. I still am having tremendous difficulty figuring out how to do anything with it. Spent 5 hours running FoundryVTT since I posted yesterday and.after downloading the program, the various modules it needs to run, etc. If it's unaccessible, it's unusable and we might as well stick to theatre of the mind during combat, etc with a real map of where we are displayed on the TV. Loading premade maps is a disaster for this reason as well. For Roll20 I can only zoom in and out and cannot access various portions of a map, so actually creating something never gets anywhere. I use a laptop and I think this is my biggest drawback of most systems. As an admitted technological newb.What are the differences between these options, what else should I consider, and most importantly.what would truly be best for my particular needs considering I have no plans to ever take my gaming online? Apparently, I'm lucky to live in a community where D&D is reasonably popular and there is no shortage of groups and people clamoring to meet up in person.įrom what I've tried, the system of Roll20 is just infuriating. Therefore, the most highly recommended and discussed programs I've seen on here and around the web include ArkenForge, DungeonFog and FoundryVTT. Might get more into it, but for now, I just need something that works and will assist my players in interacting with the game more dynamically as we are trying to leave the table maps behind us. But, slaving over map features doesn't rank amongst my list of sounding like fun time activities. ![]() I, personally, don't care how basic this is so long as we have a good representation of the area and I don't have to spend forever on it as I spend a lot of time in prep as it is. However, at this point, one of the biggest requests I keep getting is to find a system to upload tokens of sorts so players can more easily track their characters as we move through taverns, dungeons and encounters. I use a 55" TV at the end of the table to display images, maps, etc. I started DM'ing a new campaign, which is my first to be 100% digital on Beyond. ![]() Basically, easy to use and incorporate a token system for players and enemies that I can manipulate from my laptop.Ībout me: I host an in person D&D session once per week. Have an ability to either upload maps from Beyond for integration with a token system or be able to quickly lay out a copy in the program. Here are my needs: Simple to use, without a huge learning curve or need to understand "programming" to get certain functions to work. Monstrous Compendium Vol 3: Minecraft Creatures ![]()
