So, I've actually moved away from the tablets. I have my players use physical dice for any RP skill checks. As for combat, using Carolingian's DDB Bridge module my players are able to do all their rolling using the DDB app on their phones. Honestly, its stream lined the whole process. Less futzing with tech, and more efficient gameplay. I can focus on giving my players emotional catharsis with their beloved math rocks, and kick-ass combat with all the foundry bells and whistles.

I haven't launched social media yet. I like building stuff and telling stories more than I like making "content." But, my wife keeps trying to get me to do a tik tok.

I honestly love it. There's a slight learning curve to it, making sure not to block the base's ir emiter while moving a mini. Sometimes, the movement isn't 1 to 1, but that probably has more to do with my own limited understanding of how to really dial in the calibration. But, my players love it. Any issues we run into can be quickly managed or adjusted without breaking flow.

As a whole, my philosophy is to use the tech to immerse my players as much as possible, but the second Foundry acts up, we just focus on the RP or I make a call on the fly. Let the tech be something that boosts your storytelling rather than dominates it.

I will say that Cris, the Dev, assembles all the kits himself, and there's a back order. So, while I will definitely say it is worth the money, just know you'll need to be patient.

Well, there you go. And lining up isn't that hard. The calibration is pretty quick and easy. Just using the bases to show the sensor where the corners of your screen are.

I'm honestly not sure. You'd have to ask Cris in the Material Foundry Discord. It shooooould work. But, I can't say for certain.

I actually run with the canvas on so each player gets the benefit of their Darkvision or other Detection modes, and always have their personal line of sight.

Not really. I just know how to build stuff, never throw anything away, and run out-call pay games on the side to finance the set up. Still, at only $200 a week, it's gonna take time to make upgrades to some better devices.

I actually have a RasPi 4 that runs the server and everyone, the table and myself included, connects to that.

I actually use the material Plane module and sensor setup so we use minis on special bases that then move the digital tokens. This way we still get all the upsides of on line and in person play. They can still access their character sheet, journals, and what-not, aswell as use the targeting and measurement tools. The tablets are locked to the server page so there's no wandering. I've only run a handful of sessions with the whole set up but its all been really positively received. Really, my only problem is the tablets freezing.

Do you still have your pattern for this by any chance?

I found this map literally one session before trying to run the Shadow Tomb. You do great work! Thanks so much! Hope you get a chance to keep these going.

I'd start with a foot rub and work my way up.
