And THE MAPS! It has fog of war, with my phone i reveal the areas the party is exploring, and it's so simple and so easy <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />The campaign books are full of really good illustrations, and beautifully designed maps. But in the past when running games i would draw a crappy version of the map in graph paper. It's a shame to have a beautiful map and not being able to share it with the players.The same with the illustrations, just opening the book for a few seconds to show a picture to the players is very little. So instead, when setting a scene, i share a scene of the village/forest/landscape of where the players are, to give a general impression of where they are. When they meet an NPC, on my phone i drag a picture of the NPC into the middle of the scene/map.That way the player can have a good look of everything, they can zoom in on details as they prefer, etc. I feel it has enriched my games immensely.I love the simplicity of Owlbear Rodeo, you really don't need much when playing in person. We use pencil and paper character sheets, real dice. And the beautiful images from the books (most of them downloaded from the internet though <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😅" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f605.png" title="Grinning face with sweat    :sweat_smile:" data-shortname=":sweat_smile:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /> )I never had much use for a tablet before, so i'm using my mother-in-law's old tablet which is good enough to run it in player mode. Now i'm thinking of investing in a big tablet just for this.This is a video i shared with my players when i was getting excited about it. I haven't used minis with this setup yet (i rarely use them), but that was one of the reasons i wanted to have a nice digital board.[ATTACH=full]351730[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
