[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 9593177, member: 48965"] One factor I haven't seen mentioned here so I'll mention it is the ease and use of D&D Beyond. I know, at least on this forum, it's cool to predict the doom of the game around these tools but DnDBeyond is a game changer. My players have a much easier time managing and leveling up their characters as opposed to using a stack of books, paper sheets and pencils (not to mention they can do it outside of game time since they need less assistance). I and the other DM enjoy being able to build out encounters using Maps (or the legacy tool if sticking with 2014). We can run and track our encounters from our tablets without opening a single book but Maps and the legacy tool are flexible enough that we decide how much we want to integrate it into our games. As an example I mostly use it for stats/hp tracking and keeping initiative order but we still play around the table with physical dice and physical miniatures/maps. On top of all that, with one DM tier sub I can grant my players access to any books I may own and they don't for a campaign. I wish other ttrpg's we play had something like this. [/QUOTE]
