[QUOTE="Zio_the_dark, post: 8872918, member: 54863"] My evil trick is to just use maptool lol. I bought a FG licence and Foundry back in time but eventually never use them (well let's say I love to collect things...) The main downside of maptool is that there's no content sold so you have to find or built something that will fit your needs/rules. But once you get your base framework, building a campaign from it is very fast. Ah and it can do much more (the exemple of the boulder you can set vbl on tokens for example if you remove the token it removes the vision blocking on it) and has a great community. For my 4th and 5th games I'm just using a slightly tweaked version of takehara's fantastic framework for 5th edition with added utility from the bag of tricks. Also it's free and with time I've seen many comments that it's not user friendly but really find it so much easier to use than every paid software and eventually providing as many and perhaps more features...except for official content of course 😉 Edit: ah well forget to mention I also use the trick of changing monster borders or picture [/QUOTE]
