This DM Tool hits the Sweet Spot!

Sojourn the Solo VTT on DMSGuild is well worth the $10.

Why would you have the posters from the sequels on your wall voluntarily?! They’re not Star Wars.

yikes.
just use roll20 people...
this guy probably got banned from roll20, that's why he doesn't wanna use roll20.
with roll20 you can do what he did and even more.

Guys, Foundry much cheaper and has more utility in any way than all programs were named. And it's easy to use. No need to create a wheel again - just try foundry and you understand the difference for GM and as a player

Its a great tool, i import my initiative bar(token) to the top, and duplicate my player/monster tokens. To show who is in the initiative order! You can lock them in place, super easy and everyone can see whos next! 😊

Huge hole that it doesn't have dice rolling. Surely you need that online. Why not just use roll20?

Would love to see this kind of browser cache based tool integrated as an addon into Obsidian md - could implement simple linking to and embedding of notes that house any of your compendium and character info - similar to how the Excalidraw extension has extra features and you can save your files as JSON embedded in markdown within your Obsidian folders. I might look into how hard this would be actually :D

Does anybody know if you can upload Inkarnate maps in? I know they can be pretty chunky

have you tried AboveVTT?

Thank you for this video, exactly what I need because some of my players don't have computers that can handle roll20 or other digital tt

I can't wait to try this, this is exactly what I've been working for. I've been trying to start up a DND campaign for my friends but we've never been able to start correctly due to these exact problems. Sure I've found some that were somewhat easy to make maps, but they had stuff that I couldn't use and needed me to buy some premium or "pro" for. Thank you.

This looks awesome! Got a question though. I have an in person game coming up and would like to use my table with a TV built in and connected to my laptop via Wi-Fi. What’s the best way to utilize the fog of war function if I’m only using one device? Is it possible? Thanks

This still the best option? What about for map making? Id greatly appreciate anyone who can help

Update from the future. I tried owlbear rodeo and the original is fantastic. It's simple and like you I've been searching for FOREVER for a map tool to make showing maps at the table easier one me and with better scale and mobility. BUT now they have a new version that undoes all the positives in my book. You have to have an account, they have Dungeonfog-like suite of features. Also in my game\case the tokens wouldn't go small enough to properly show the scale. They are supposed to be in a massive castle. So being able to reach the other end in 1 30ft action seemed. . . .off.

This is actually perfect, im trying to setup a dnd campaign for my friends and this is exactly what i was looking for!

How do you do hex maps?

I think it's funny the first issues you have of fog of war and players being able to move tokens.. most things like foundryvtt and fantasy grounds have that already and what's cool with those is it can track the players line of sight and will only show them what they can see and will show them the rooms they have been in but they can't see tokens moving in the room if they don't have line of sight in there

Could you do a video about the new version of Owlbear?

Would love to use this, but I'm so addicted to roll 20s dynamic lighting

If I wanted to create my own maps what's the best source for a drag and drop solution. Somthing where I chose the general walls design floor decoration ect. Drag and drop sort of thing

gosh this thing is gonna be so useful

Great now i just need to find somewear to make the map

Of you fog in Photoshop Just set opacity to 50% so you can see what you erase

2023 is this still up? I hope so, I need this!

Best lightweight vtt out there!

Nice find 8?) thanks

I have about 600 Gb of storage IN my browser? How would you know? lmao. Edit: for those who want to know the real info; As a free account you have 200Mb storage on their server. How far that goes? No idea.

Is this video still relevant or have switch to another tool?

Mobile also eh? Interesting.

I’ve been using Owlbear for a little over a year and every time I consider switching to something else it’s always missing something

O....M...G>... WHY have i not seen this video??? i have searched ton of stuff for playing virtually I LOVE THIS!

I'm about to run course of strahd, be great if you could download the map pack. Could be a good way the devs monetise and appease the cunts at wotc

The Token stamp maker is such a game changer thx for the link

looks neat. large storage space.

when i click it just moves the map and not the token what do i do

Eh, I have tried this three times now and all I have been able to do is make a city layer. But nothing else is available to drag onto the map. Nothing works. All that stuff running vertically on your monitor (on the far right) is not visible for me.

Ahhh, I was logged into 2.0 beta!!! My bad!!

My DM loves Owlbear for our set modules. Question: For creating maps what is your "best recommendation". I do lots of homebrew gaming and want to start creating my own personal maps that I can import to Roll20 or into Owlbear. Do you have an updated video on your "best choice"? I'm ok with paid subscription just so long as it is versatile. While I would prefer a standalone version I'm totally fine with web-based browser supported.

HOLY SHIT, THIS IS WHAT I"VE BEEN WANTING. QUICK. EASY. USABLE.

Thanks a lot. This is what I really needed.

This huge amount of online gaming software seems to be diluting theater of the mind as well as gently (sometimes not gently) forcing people into moving away from face-to-face gaming, which is the foundation of DnD. It’s all very nice and luxurious, but dang! I play (as do most people I know) DnD to get away from this online “reliance” we all seem to be hinging on, hehe!!

Can you give specific people specific site they can see, for things like a player with blindsight when the rest of the party don’t.

OMG, this is just what i wanted all this time. thank you very much T-T!!!!

DO NOT Drink every time he says map

I was a bit skeptical, cause theres always these other softwares that claim to be the best, but I usually find them complicated, and then they either don't have the right features or just lock a bunch of stuff behind paywalls, so I was hooked when you said it had all these features while being totally free lol.

This is amazing

I just started a game where we play in person with the map shown via projector and screen, and this is PERFECT. No other site or tool makes it so quick and easy to control the map and what the players can see. This is a godsend

So if i get this correctly, you build the map on owlbear & then send an invite link to players & then they can visualize the map on whatever device they're using?

Was hoping for automatic fog removal as a player moves….but still super cool
