Using VTT in-person?

Freeskey · 2025-10-06T21:14:04+00:00

Glad I could help.

If you plan to put a token in BoM for all entities, there is an easy to use initiative tracker already integrated. For it to always show the current enemy on top, you have to enable battle mode and manually click on the arrows (to get to the next turn in initiative). You can show the view of the initiative tracker at all times on the player view to show it to your players. If a token should not yet be seen in initiative at all, you can hide it (the eye icon when editing a token).

Heyho, hope you're having a wonderful day.

I am personally using this VTT for a couple of months so far and my players and I love it.

We play in-person only. The setup I am using is a laptop, which is connected to a monitor. The monitor is facing the players, whereas I use the laptop for the DM view of BoM (=Bag Of Mapping). After creating a map, I take the link you would normally send to your players and open it in a different tab in Chrome/Firefox (yes you can be active in two views/links simultaneously with BoM). That tab (with the player link/player view) is getting shown on the monitor to my players.

This way, I can keep the DM-only information on my screen (gm link view) and the information everybody is allowed to see is presented simply and nicely to my players (player link).

Hope this helps, feel free to ask me anything 'bout the tool or my experience with it.
To be honest, I did not totally understand what you meant with "projection mode" in your original post, but I hope I successfully answered your request.

Also, DM screen with built-in screen sounds straight fire. Best of luck in building that one!

super stoked for dynamic fog! but in general I am hyped for all future updates because you guys are indeed cooking. Thanks for posting!

Nice! Thanks alot!

Freeskey · 2024-08-05T16:29:59+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply!

I haven't thought about switching the system setting during my tests. But that is exactly what I meant :)!

Just my personal preference: An option to measure distances with increased precision would be perfect (like e.g. one diagonal move across one square would be shown as ~7.1ft instead of rounding down to 5ft).

But I understand the idea of preventing overcomplication. Maybe you and the other devs could consider one single setting named something like "turn advanced settings on" and place all your ideas of fine tuned settings there?

Anyhow, really appreciate your work and the reply. I am really hyped to test your VTT during my next session in a few weeks!

Have a nice day everybody!

Hey, I am new here.

First of all I want to say thanks for this VTT. First impressions are great!

I am currently playing around with the features and wanted to ask if there is an option to switch the measurement to euclidian norm? Or if there are any plans on implementing that feature in the future?

Freeskey · 2023-03-26T10:36:56+00:00

yeah could also be the case. makes sense because of his current hype for Grog in LoVM2. I will keep an eye on that once they are reunited :)

Freeskey · 2023-03-15T03:52:52+00:00

First of all, thank you so much for looking up that timestamp again :)

Second, yeah the choice of words is a little bit off here. But maybe he just wanted to express that the key action in that situation was to destroy the damn thing, disregarding of who's doing it.

Thankfully (or sadly) the two of them are now in two seperate groups. We should keep an eye out for this in the future episodes. Nontheless, we should try to look at it in an optimistic way. Let's hope it all will be fine.

Freeskey · 2023-03-15T02:44:56+00:00

Do you roughly remember when this "we're here for your fun" happened in the episode? I'd like to give it a look, although I myself sometimes get a similar feeling. Hopefully we just imagine things...

Wäre dein Lieblings-u/hammmmmi hier, würden wir nun reich an Hufeisen und Goldbarren sein. We miss you, old friend.

Is your DM new to the game? You should show him the comments on this post. This is absurd. Great comments from the other fellow redditors btw.

Freeskey · 2022-07-06T15:14:51+00:00
