[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8134797, member: 15882"] What VTT do you use? I have to say the dynamic lighting was pretty neat when I played a non-darkvision character. People are doing stuff and you can't see anything! It was an eye-opener...which I guess is a pun? In one of the games our dm did the same as you and turned off the map reveal (push back fog of war) so that we had to remember where we were going. I told the dm I was using chalk to mark arrows that pointed towards the exit. I used a draw tool to mark them directly on the map. I think it gets most frustrating when combat and events move slowly and you can't see what's happening. So, you can't spectate when it's not your turn, which makes it hard to stay focused on the game. I think it's useful, during combats to remove vision blocking on pillars and other obstacles so players can see the whole battlefield and use their imagination when something is 'behind cover'. So, while I love dynamic lighting, I find it can be as much a bane as a blessing. I really think there's a right and wrong way to use it. [/QUOTE]
