D&D General VTT that supports a pen?

[Greenstone.Walker]

Are there any virtual tabletop tools that support drawing with a tablet pen?

I know I can put something together in paint, but it seems like a lot of effort to draw something offline and then spend the time uploading it, then trying to align it to a grid, simply for some quick encounter.

TIA

Roll20 has a full set of paint tools from freehand, polygon, circle, square, and text box with various colors and thicknesses.

Roll20 has a full set of paint tools

almost none of which work with a digitiser pen and tablet.

There's a number of posts on the Roll20 forum about using a Wacom tablet with that system. It just requires a little set-up.

Wacom is the brand I'd suggest too. The basic tablets are reasonably priced and come with a great suite of software.

I had an older Wacom Bamboo Craft circa 2011 that I brought home from work for testing. It works but my hand-eye coordination is rusty so YMMV.

I want able to get my Wacom to work. Guess I'll try again.

See the reply by StephBX in this video if you have an older tablet about using Windows 8 compatability mode. I also set mine from "pen" to "mouse" in the utility for it to work. But my Wacom is at least ten years old.
