For that, the best way is probably to have the players add the NPC or monster to their companions under 'Extras' on their character sheet. The token will then appear in the token browser under Compaions. They'll be able to see the entire stat block in their Character Sheet, but unfortunately...

Honestly, I think the Daggerheart engine is a much better fit for Sci-Fantasy than 5e. I ran a baller one shot with that theme, but the conversion was too much work for the table so I’m keeping my eyes on a few KS projects meant to turn DH into a full on Sci-Fanatsy game. Space fantasy I think...

In settings toggle on the ability for players to control monsters.

Guess we just have fundamentally different views of how goods product Maps is. You see it is a limited and flawed piece of software, I see it as a game changing tool for the way I run and play D&D online. I went from hating prepping for online play with Roll20 to it being a breeze. And also am...

Dice are finally rolling on Maps! Can’t wait to see this in our session Saturday. Have been waiting patiently for a while for this :)

Didn’t mean to be pedantic about semantics, I was just going off what you quoted them as saying. DDB is a BIG reason Sigil was scrapped. It was already doing everything Sigil wanted to do (bring in new users) but at a fraction of the cost. Maps has been an incredible new feature that people...

There is a pretty big difference between saying that you 'need' to do something and that you 'are' doing something. This announcement falls into the later. And the WotC DDB team has been absolutely excellent in developing Maps so far so much so that it's success killed the Sigle 3DVTT. I...

This is the way. I’ll also add, most of the time I just call it D&D.

In the AMA I asked about whether there are plans after the rebuild of the engine to create (or integrate) a DMsGuild like maketplace. Seems like one of the advantages of the rebuild is that people should be able to more easily create content, whether PC facing, monsters, magic items or full...

As a heavy Beyond and Maps user, the focus on rebuilding the engine running DDB from the ground up this year is incredibly welcome news. Not only because there are still basic features that just don't work the way they should (tracking extra damage when raging for example) but also because...

The monsters, as we have primarily been playing Infinate Staircase and Rime of the Frostmaiden, and are using the encounters straight out of the book but with the 2024 versions of the mosters.

I've noticed a large uptick in the number of tense combats around my table since the release of the '24 MM, both as a DM and as a player. Not sure there can be higher praise than that.

@Ruin Explorer the way I read the article announcing this, the companions aren't going to be the main characters of this new story. It will be an enitrely new, low level party in a Baldur's Gate where the Absolute was just defeated. The compaions will be relegated to NPC/cameo status. Seems...

My group had a blast with it. Set in Faerun. 2024 rules. No issues. Wizard was almost killed outright due to Str drain in one of the first encounters. Burned inspiration and a luck point to prevent it.

I consider TLoU to be fantastic. But I’m not a person who gets all stuck on annon when a game or book is adapted to a different medium. And as for Larian, my understanding is that the story we got had a lot of help from the early access players pushing them in a different direction from where...
