• 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: over 2 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.

• 3D combat on VTTs?

  VTT with a 3D environment exists, this one is called TaleSpire. It's been implemented to good effect in several seasons of Dimension20. Source: 10 months ago

• First time DM and I'm not sure what level to start off my players

  I'm doing a DnD session on Talespire and when doddling around I was able to develope a decent sewer/port type dungeon with little traps, hazards and mobs themed to sewers. Source: 11 months ago

• Which Virtual Tabletop would you recommend for a solo experience?

  I've been eyeing TaleSpire, but I wanted to ask you fine people what you think before making the plunge. Setting aside all connectivity issues and looking purely at the tabletop experience on a single PC, which VTT do you think provides the best experience for a solo game? Source: 12 months ago

• Best D&D map makers for dungeons, cities and worlds

  I feel that list articles don't meet the standard for a good HN submission. In the interest of discussing tabletop map tools, one that isn't mentioned which is frankly amazing is: TaleSpire[1]. The quality of their asset packs for building maps is fantastic and you can actually play with friends using it. [1] https://talespire.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What are good alternatives to roll20?

  Talespire - 3D! Cool features and heroforge support. A little bit of a learning curve to make actual maps though. Also, making a 3d map is killer for immersion, but it also kills your prep time. Definitely recommend, if you're interested in 3d and choose this one, that you learn to use the community to its fullest to help you save on prep. Source: about 1 year ago
