[QUOTE="Vendral, post: 7968348, member: 60088"] My group and me are quite tactically minded and we have always used miniatures. Normally I use a lot of 3D elements to represent the dungeon or wilderness their encounters take place. With the pandemi we have dicided to try to do our gaming without meeting in my game room. I am using Open Office Impress (similar to power point) with small colored circles (size locked) representing the PCs which I am sharing over Google Meet with my players. Initially I was drawing the map on the fly using the different shapes available in impress to visualize the encounter area to my players. Recently I bought DungeonDraft to get maps that are more visually appetizing. I import the map to Impress and put a lot of white rectangles blocking out the part of the map that the PCs can't see. This seem to work well for us. I would like to use a proper VTT to get individual Fog of War liht sources and other stuff in place to enhance the experience. I have been trying both Roll20 and Astral and even though I can figure out how to draw in those tools I still do not understand how I can import the map I did in DungeonDraft. From my point of view these tolls are far from intuitive and I will most likely stick to Google meet and Impress with imported maps until we can start playing together at my home again. /Vendral [/QUOTE]
