[QUOTE="Mannahnin, post: 8175237, member: 7026594"] One of my favorite usages of dynamic lighting I've seen so far in online play is in a Stonehell megadungeon OSE game, where we use TotM for combat and just have a single token for the party moving around the map. The DM doesn't use Explorer mode, so we NEED to make maps for ourselves to avoid the risk of getting lost. It's been one of the most exciting and old-school elements of play I've had in online D&D. A few sessions ago we were inattentive and DID take a wrong turn fleeing from a wraith! One PC got drained of two levels as a result, and we were lucky to escape. I'm a bit of a luddite; in my own games I just use Fog of War and reveal the maps in stages as appropriate. But in my bigger dungeons which require multiple trips, I do usually reset the FoW for a given level, so the players have to remember the layout or make maps for themselves. One of them was quite good at the latter and it really aided the party's planning for subsequent delves. Other players have not been as attentive, gotten disoriented or forgotten where a given room was, and that's been a pretty fun old-school element of play as well. [/QUOTE]
