Limit Break Dancing
So it looks like I'm going to be moving all three of my gaming groups (5e, Call of Cthulhu) to the virtual environment effective immediately. And I bet that I'm not alone...the pandemic is forcing a lot of us to self-isolate, limit social interaction, and in some cases, outright quarantine ourselves.
Many of us have used virtual tabletops for months or years, and have lots of advice and input for the rest of us who might not have. And thus, this thread was born!
I pulled together a list of available virtual tabletops from a cursory Internet search, but I'm sure it is by no means complete. The "greatest hits" are there, like Roll20 and FantasyGrounds, and a few of the rising stars like Arkenforge and Astral...but I'm sure I missed some gems.
Please recommend your favorite tabletop gaming software, platform, app, or method to the rest of us VTT N00bs. What programs do you like to use and why? Which ones are great for beginners, and which ones are more suitable for veterans? Are there other tools that you use or recommend for video, chat, or character sheets? Help us virtual newcomers to keep our campaigns active, our players engaged, and our DMs sane in the age of COVID-19.
