[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7166533, member: 2525"] For Roll 20 here is what I did that seemed to help: I made a dungeon, from scratch. I pulled up walls and floors in the library and place them. Doors, tables, chairs, traps, statues, pools, etc.. and put those on the map layer, and used the "snap to grid" tool to practice sizing the floors. Then i populated it with monsters. I then filled in the critical information on those monsters: AC, movement, HP, attacks with damage, anything special about how they fight, etc.. I move the monsters and anything else the players don't necessarily know about right away (like traps and secret doors and stuff) to the GM layer, and practiced moving them to the player layer for once they were spotted. I then played with moving things around and marking them as drawings, adjusting size and placement, and moving them back to being not drawings (that will make sense when using Roll 20). I added some sample PC icons, and practices clicking on their character a sheets and filling in some info and clicking on some things like saves and attacks and spells. I then played with some of the pointer and shaping tools. And finally I clicked on some of the music stuff and misc stuff, and rolled some dice. Included in the dice is sometimes using simple formulas to roll dice rather than a button on a character sheet. Once you've done all that you should feel pretty comfortable with Roll 20. [/QUOTE]
