• Roll20 Sheet for Trinity Continuum?

  The closest I've found to a useable Trinity sheet is on astraltabletop.com where they have the quickstarts pre-configured. The sheets there are pretty primitive and irksome to use, though. Source: over 2 years ago

• GM'ing Online - How do I avoid feeling like I'm building an automated game?

  I have a few recommendations based on your concerns. Find a VTT that fits your playstyle. Let the players keep their own character sheets. Have everyone roll real dice. Only use a VTT for sharing maps and placing tokens. owlbear.rodeo or astraltabletop.com have clean, simple interfaces. With a little practice, you can draw maps using owlbear as if you were in person. It has no automation so you don't need... Source: over 2 years ago

• Want a break from your Main Campaign ? PRISON BREAK INSANITY is a Free 5th level Adventure Full of clockwork monsters, chase sequences and an intense dungeon crawl

  I'd recommend putting it up on Astral as well. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Looking at new virtual tabletop to migrate away from roll20, any recommendations?

  Check out Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com. It's like a much more modern Roll20 in active development. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Which form of online playing do you prefer, and why?

  Astral Tabletop https://astraltabletop.com currently has my attention. A free account is somewhat limited, and I can imagine you may need to only have uploaded whatever assets you need for the next session due to space limitations, but it's easier to use and way more pretty than anything else I've tried.

• VTT for Dark Sun 5e

  My favorite VTT is Astral, but I'm not sure if there's anything unique about it that lends itself to Dark Sun specifically. It's a pretty good, intuitive VTT with easy-to-use lighting and fog effects and free tokens for all of the monsters in the 5e SRD. Source: about 3 years ago

• Dungeons & Dragons had its biggest year ever as Covid forced the game off tables and onto the web

  I would recommend checking out Astral or Foundry. Astral has very customizable character sheets, but it doesn't have as much of the compendium stuff that Roll20 has. Foundry is even more customizable than Astral, but you have to either pay them to host a Foundry instance for you or host it yourself, which can be a lot less convenient than something like Roll20 or Astral where you just log into the website.
