Well, it’s been awhile old friend. Looks like we’ll be getting back together again.
At some point in the coming months (when ever my Torchbearer game resolves), it looks like one of my groups wants to play 4e. Awesome!
Except…while I can run pretty much every game under the sun mostly without digital tools (Googlesheets and Discord tracking exempted) or online platform, 4e ain’t that!
So what are peoples’ experiences with running 4e via Foundry or Roll20? The real needs are:
* High ease-of-use. : functionality relationship. I’m a borderline Luddite so my brain and tech no work so gud.
* Battleboard with tokens and good battlefield/hazard/terrain tiles that can be quickly assembled (it would be best if all participants could be involved in the assembly).
* A good round/condition/status tracker.
* If there is a PC builder that can help them out (they’ll have to do some typing because of OGL, but so be it) that would be good too.
* I’ve run so much 4e that I can just use Monster on a Business Card/GM Cheat Sheet and just build my own powers/Traits off the cuff, but if they have something that would help with that, it wouldn’t hurt.
* Table-facing Skill Challenge stuff can just be handled via text.
Any help or thoughts from folks with good experience is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
