I'm currently running a game of Basic D&D, and while I've always been a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to technology, I'm slowly converting to a more digital DMing style. My DM Screen has become the reverse side of my laptop monitor and I'm preferring it this way, but I feel there's so much more I could be doing to streamline my games.
I don't want to just create digital maps, I'd like interactive ones. Is there any kind of software that facilitates a map that will allow me to simply click on any room and see all pertinent information I've entered previously (monsters, treasure, traps, changes made by PCs etc)?
There are plenty of other tools out there I'm sure I could utilise as well, but I think what I'm after is one interface with the map, combat tracker, note making sections and more all on one screen, so there's minimal flicking from screen to screen.
It wouldn't need to be specific to Basic D&D, and I'm still happy with rolling dice, but my goal is to convert to an almost entirely paperless game.
Any suggestions?
