[QUOTE="Thagdal, post: 9669931, member: 95215"] Though both my groups started as in person, they have been VTT now for years. One group was hybrid in early stages, but after about six months became purely VTT. I did some digital maps on a screen, but often used maps with 3d terrain. We still arrange in person meet ups, (one group twice a year, the other four times) but do a one shot or work on the board game backlog. Mostly because as DM I'd need to do more than a few hours prep just to be ready for a smooth in person experience. I'm very used to having my notes/maps/etc on big screen easily visible. My players use PDFs and web resources more than books, so they would more likely need to be on their phone which is less than optimal. Doing the board games or similar instead of the normal campaign seems to work well socially too. There's more chit chat and less focus when we are in person, more communal eating, drinking, sharing of stories. Catch up time is more beer and pretzels gaming in tone. Not DMing and everyone being players is a nice break too. [/QUOTE]
