Exactly what I needed to see to make a decision about Roll20 for the rest of this campaign. Thanks.

Just finished the lost mine campaign now I am starting on this one hope you reach 1k soon 👍🏻

When I ran my game. I gave myself a sh#tton of work. I took all of the prebuilt enemy NPCs and threw them out the window. Then I made each cult have different classes which were divided into melee, ranged, healer, arcane, and 'specialty'. The specialty ones were the character that could fit into multiple categories. Moon circle druid, eldritch knight, etc. Then each cult had several classes. For example, fire cult had monk of the four elements, vengeance paladin, evocation wizard etc, etc. Then I made each of these classes from level 1 through a level 15 version. (I ended up with something like 600 enemy PC sheets). Then I broke them even further with grunts (24 of them), soldiers (16 of them), lieutenants (8 of them), captains (4 of them), second in charge, and cult leader. But because they were fighting soldiers, each other, the players, etc. they would level up when the players did. grunts were players -4 levels, soldiers -3, lt-2, cpt-1, 2nd in charge = their level, cult leader, their level +2. So if you fought and killed 4 captains, there wouldn't be any more captains of that cult. The players didn't realize this, but it made the number of captured and killed cultists significant. And since they were all basically rolled up NPC characters, they were a lot tougher so it forced my players to strategize and not just go all murder hobo on them. As I said, it was a TON of work. But it paid off in that the whole world was opened up to them. Plus, their level was actually a measuring to how far along the cultists were in their plan to summon their god to our world.

You can make it so new charetcer sheets have the roll queries changed, but for individual ones already in there, you gotta do it yourself

I believe Out of the Abyss is still awaiting Roll20 adaptation.

Can you describe how you can label locations with x's or dots on a map. Trying to look it up, but can't find much on it

Tokens are probably copyright reasons. You can't make a Beholder look like a generic token. If you look in the credits they do actually commission art work for tokens. Brass Badger Workshop draws them up.

Watching through this review today, ready to get a new campaign going and wondering what you recommend overall, particularly between this campaign and Tomb of Annihilation?

Just a big dungeon crawl? Might want to read the original, was never meant to be just a sandbox adventure. It is much larger, ToEE

Are reviewing the book or selling roll20?
