[QUOTE="Monero, post: 8705989, member: 7037069"] i used to play D&D all the time when I was a teenager but sadly I haven’t been able to play for nearly two decades. Anyways, I’m wanting to correct that as i want to run a game for both my wife and my 15 year old son. I actually met my wife though D&D so she’s familiar with the game and my son played some with his friends using discord over the summer. So none of us are new to the game, but I’m definitely out of the loop of modern gaming, which leads me to here looking for help. I’m looking for digital solutions to run our game, both for ease of play and just because I love technology and want to make use of it. Here’s my goal: I’d like like to run the entire game from my iPad Pro in terms of all the DM aspects. Notes, modules, pdfs, die rolling, etc. But I’d like to have battle maps, visual aids, and ambient sounds/music playing on our big screen tv in the living room. My gaming PC is hooked up to my tv so I’d have access to whatever software that could fit my needs. I’m thinking my wife and son could use the mouse to move tokens and navigate combat and whatnot while I’m running things on the iPad. But I’m at a loss as to what software/website/app I’d use to accomplish this. I’ve researched this a bit and I’ve discovered Foundry, Roll20, D&D beyond, And Fantasy Grounds as potential solutions but I have no idea which if any of these would adequately address my needs. Btw, assuming it matters, I’m heavily leaning towards 5th edition but I’m also open to trying Pathfinder. As a secondary question, are any of the published modules appropriate for two players? Or will I have to crate custom adventures for them since the party of So small? Thanks for any help! [/QUOTE]
