[QUOTE="turnip_farmer, post: 8186239, member: 7029365"] Interesting to see everyone's different approaches here. Personally, I don't find setting up dynamic lighting in Roll20 to be at all onerous, but I'm going to be doing less of it in future anyway. As a couple of others have mentioned, I find that players dragging tokens around a map leads to disengagement. I was thinking about different sessions the other day, and the most enjoyable dungeon-crawling session I can remember was one where I hadn't prepared a map. The dungeon consisted only of a flowchart and a couple of encounter maps. Now, while stuff like Steel Winds showed looks fantastic, I lack the skills to produce this, and the time and motivation to learn them. Sure, I could find stuff others have produced, but that's deeply unsatisfactory to me. Part of the appeal of rpgs, to me, is that the situations I present are limited only by my imagination. I don't want to limit myself to stuff that others have produced to a sufficient quality. I'm going back to no maps except when a fight breaks out, and those are going to be schematic.
