[QUOTE="battlemapp, post: 8162941, member: 7026545"] I made a 3D in-your-browser D&D encounter map-maker. Here's a boss fight between my party and an Adult Black Dragon. I reduced visibility in the fog and the players ended up running from this one: [MEDIA=youtube]lMqBPVLSrLw[/MEDIA] I've been updating [URL='https://pixelbrushio.itch.io/battlemapp']BattleMapp[/URL] for a couple of months now and although similar to other map-makers out there, it's a bit different because it works straight in your browser. I describe it as a "sketching tool" for those DM's that want a quick and dirty way to get an encounter going online. As you can see, it is very simple, quick and easy to make a pretty cool map for your players to get lost in. [URL='https://www.patreon.com/battlemapp']Patreon[/URL] [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/battlemapp']Subreddit[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu9Kbt8SDxI8fFpu9aqBtaA']Youtube[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/BattleMapp']Twitter[/URL] This is how I use it in my Friday night games: - Load up Zoom and start the session with my players. - When an encounter begins, I load up BattleMapp in the browser and sketch out the battle area. This takes about 30-seconds. Imagine sketching out a map on a piece of paper IRL: the players need an idea of layout, distances and character/enemy placements. - I share my screen via Zoom so the players can see the map. - I ask for the initiatives and note the combat order on the "notepad" feature in BattleMapp. - I ask for their actions in turn and I move the counters around the map. - I roll the 3D dice in BattleMapp because the players find it exciting to see it landing on those natty 1's. - Once combat has finished, I stop sharing my screen and move on with the game. BattleMapp premium adds bells & whistles - various prop models, token avatars, effects etc... But you can run an encounter perfectly well with the free version. Let me know what you think! [/QUOTE]
