I legit used Google sheets for my pandemic game and it worked extremely well.

VAMPIRE-ON-A-BEAR

Dude, I'm so impressed by this. Great job and imagination.

Paint streamed over with Discord.
-
Notepad streamed over a Zoom meeting. Each token is represented by a single character, as in an old-school CLI roguelike.
-
That sounds like doing it the hard way.

I was kinda doing this with Photoshop and discord, just because I liked the tools in Photoshop for moving things etc. I realised they were all in Google Slides and switched over for the latter half of my pandemic era campaign and honestly it worked like a dream.
I now know that Owlbear Rodeo is basically the same option again but without the rest of the unnecessary PowerPoint fluff.
-
Yeah, we're using owlbear rodeo in a campaign I'm in, and it's super easy and smooth. I definitely prefer it to roll20, which I think is pretty clunky

I prefer offline whenever possible and we love to put minis and terrain on the table.
-
If course! That's always the number one choice, when possible. Sadly, it's just not an option as frequently as I (and plenty of others) would like.
Those minis and terrain look rad, too! I also like that part of the hobby in and of itself. I could spend hours just painting minis and making terrain while watching or listening to something.
-
We started using Foundry for the interactive maps, not quite as interactive ad minis but the sound triggers and traps automatically going off was super fun!

-
Tabletop Simulator + VR was way crazier than i thought for the first (and only) time we tried it
-
We recently played a oneshot on Owlbear Rodeo instead of our usual Foundry or Roll20 and I much preferred the simpler Owlbear experience. With the others it was usually a question of "how do I do this with this VTT" and with Owlbear everyone managed their character on their own and we could just play. And I think it gave the DM more confidence to do theatre of the mind when something wasn't prepared.

Redrazers does some good work, but i just cant quit darthmarth's autosheets
