• 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.

• Exploring Underground Tips?

  Well, there are dedicated mapping tools (generally paid software, such as Grid Cartographer on Steam, which is supposedly very nice for 2D grid maps), but personally, I have found the humble web-based Gridmapper best for Qud-diving purposes. It's fairly simplistic, but offers a multitude of features to mark tiles differently, plenty of hotkeys (you can map entirely without a mouse! Just like playing a roguelike),...

• If drawing dungeon maps on a PC, what programs do you use to do so?

  Sometimes I will also use Gridmapper: https://campaignwiki.org/gridmapper.svg. It can map a few situations that Mipui cannot do, like doors on diagonal walls. It's quirky, but also rapid once you learn the keyboard controls. Source: about 1 year ago

• How important are Artistic Maps

  There are some pretty good online tools out there for homemade maps which lift the look above wobbly pencil on graph paper. Two of my favourites are Gridmapper and Dungeon Scrawl. I'm sure others could suggest more. Source: over 1 year ago

• Building a PF2 West Marches Hexcrawl, must have modules?

  For in-game dungeon mapping, this tool is super nice. (I learned about it last week on this very sub): Https://campaignwiki.org/gridmapper.svg. Source: about 2 years ago

• Is there a way to let players map the dungeon in Foundry VTT?

  Have you consider Gridmapper? This is not actually in Foundry but it really brings the feel of mapping using paper, it's not super hard to learn and it has collaboration tools for online play. Source: about 2 years ago
