[QUOTE="Bagpuss, post: 8118706, member: 3987"] Haven't played face to face since the national lockdown in March. Moved online and have been playing using Roll20. Actually gaming more now than before the lockdown as I am running an additional game for friends from work. Considering another national lockdown has started I don't see us playing face to face for the foreseeable future, being realistic I doubt it will be before spring next year or the vaccine is available. Legally the area I'm in went into Tier 3 before the national lock down, I think there was one weekend where we could have met under the (stupid pointless) rule of six, before the Tier 3 restrictions meant we couldn't. So far as a Player we have been doing Curse of the Crimson Throne using Pathfinder, the GM isn't as up to speed with Roll20 as I am, doesn't use many macros, hasn't put NPCs/Monsters in a proper linked tokens, but manages just rolling the dice and adding the modifiers he has on the book in front of him. Works okay if not as smooth as having everything ready. Me on the other hand... I've run Lost Mine of Phandelver (5E D&D), for the new group, the Lightless Beacon (CoC), and Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury (5E D&D) for my existing group, using modules that were available for free. Modules are great as they have a lot of stuff already done for you, but it is still worth watching some Youtube tutorials and sorting out some macros of your own to speed stuff up. I then converted The Vanishing Conjurer for Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed, for my new group, might run it for my old group when we stop Curse of the Crimson Throne for a bit. Here's the Corkboard towards the end of the scenario. [ATTACH type="full" width="815px" alt="VC-Corkboard.jpg"]128185[/ATTACH] I'm currently setting up my existing Pendragon Campaign, and the new CoC Children of Fear scenario, ready to run them at some point. I think the range of games Roll20 supports is what keeps me with it, I'm certain other Virtual Tabletops are probably better if you are just focused on 5E, but I know Roll20 now and it has character sheets for a load of games where as other VTs are more limited.
