The Picard ManeuverWhat a shame
L26There are tons of virtual tabletops that make this easy to do over discord. Check out Owlbear Rodeo, Alchemy or Foundry VTT, in reverse order complexity.
Also roll20
Roll20 is okay, but IMO it’s worse than all of those others mentioned.
Ah ok. I’m in my first campaign along with several other newbies and we’re using roll20. Going to let them know about the other options.
Foundry is by far the best IME, but it requires a bit more work for the DM to set up initially.
I love foundry but “a bit more” is a wild understatement.
It depends on your comfort level with technology. It only took me an afternoon to set up the first time, and the updates are fairly straightforward.
