[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8258492, member: 52734"] I can sympathize with the set-up time, but at least for roll20, if you can find an image of the map, it’s not too bad to upload, rescale and drop a fog-of-war onto the map to obscure it. People have done some bang-up jobs colorizing and otherwise fleshing out those old-school maps and sharing them for free or almost-free. And if you’re using custom maps, good chance someone’s done something close enough to copy it off the net and use it in a pinch (and looks better than anything I can put together, that’s for sure). However, having said that, I have spent hours pre-adding counters, music, monster stats and the like - but that’s similar to the same sort of prep for physical battle maps, minis and whatnot. Just putting that out there from a fellow 50 (soon to be 51)-year old. [/QUOTE]
