• VTT that supports DM view and player view simultaneously? (Getting my kids into D&D)

  You're welcome to check out my little VTT, DMHelper. It's available for free/pwyw here: https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Then let me help........ here's the post, describing the dragon icon we have, you can check her out at https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper. Paprika was one of her incarnations, my personal favorite... Source: about 2 years ago

• How do you USUALLY play?

  We play 50/50 in person or online using Discord for voice and video screen share, always use DM Helper for maps, combat and other fun: https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper. Source: over 2 years ago

• Flavor stuff

  I purchased the DiA DM bundle on DMSguild (https://www.dmsguild.com/product/295015) which includes great advice on how to run the campaign as well as maps to use. I also use a free app called DM Helper (https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper) to display maps, organize the campaign, and track HP & initiative during combat. Source: over 2 years ago

• New DM looking for advice on using VTT in live settings.

  What I am also not sure about is https://dm-helper.itch.io/dm-helper ... Not because it isn't useful, it's because I am not sure about how to get stuff in there. Maybe you will need an mapmaking tool (like Dungeondraft or something free) to recreate all the maps - but there are many people that already did just that. Source: almost 3 years ago

• 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.
