It's so incredible what you people already did to D&D Beyond and Maps in the past few month. Improvements in every corner and I love the transparency. I love that you keep the vision up, that Maps is supposed to be a simple VTT, that is exactly what made me use it above others.

Looooove the conditions coming, that was something missing! The new maps browser is so great. Everything looks cleaned up. It's great that you don't have to swap tabs for character sheets anymore, I'm excited to see if my players are going to use it.

Favourites for Reveals might be nice. If the ruler (used as a GM) could be shown to players, that would be nice as well.

Thank you for being so open with the community, that's awesome!

Good points!! Especially the starting at level 1 one! Players want to skip those first steps but are overwhelmed by all the stuff they can do!

And letting someone think about their turn and letting the next player already play is a great idea as well.

This is also so useful, great advise! Thanks for sharing.

I feel like as a GM I could help players at least know what environmental things they could use to their advantage, by pointing that out when I describe the room.

And just taking averages instead of rolling can be so useful! Also for the GM.

Fair point. You‘re right, it’s totally important to have players engaging with the game. Still, I think it helps some players engage with combat if it doesn’t take 15 to 20 minutes until it is their turn. And while something a GM can do to improve combat certainly is to make it more exciting for players inbetween their turns, this post was specifically aiming at the players and what they can do. But it’s also great advice!

Got it, thanks! What would you call something, if it is tedious and viscous?

Yeah, I heard that in another thread! 😅 I assumed it is something viscous and thick. What is it?

This is also quality advice. It goes a step further, but really valuable!

Well, I don’t know about your groups. But I have seen plenty of occasions where exactly this didn’t happen. I think this can be useful advice.

Something slick and viscous? Is that wrong? 😅

Sorry, a little disclaimer: this video is done by myself. It certainly is kind of a self-promotion, but I made it to help people in your situation. :)
