    Appreciate the concise format and the useful tips. I knew there was a way to split the party, but Roll20 itself certainly doesn't tell you where to find functions like that.

      I really doesn’t. They have a lot of updates coming to the site soon so hopefully that info will be more accessible.

    Oh my gosh these tips are wicked especially on dragging players onto different maps. That (even after using roll20 for 4 years) I did not know. Thank you for this. I definitely might make a video or two now about Roll20. Keep up the great work!

      There are tons of videos, from 2016, that talk about this and more. Lots more. He's not saying anything that anyone else hasn't already said.

    Great tips! I've been a PC for about 4 years now and am finally taking the leap of faith into DM'ing. I am going to be DM'ing for a larger group, so these tips will certainly come in handy.

    Nice video! Any tips on handling vertical combat like if the players and enemies have the fly spell?

    • @encountersmith
      @encountersmith  Рік тому

      Great question! I usually put the little wings icon on the token very similarly to the colored dots. Then in the 3 circles that pop up above the token when you click on it, I usually will keep track of how high they are off the ground in the blue circle.
      But you could go about it in a few ways. Might make a video on it! Thanks for the comment!

    Tip 6 - use Foundry VTT.

    • @encountersmith
      @encountersmith  Рік тому

      Hahaha I’d never say that Foundry VTT doesn’t have more awesome options and features but I like to think because Roll20 is a bit more accessible it would get more ppl into playing their games online. Roll20 seem to be the gateway drug to Foundry VTT. What do you think?

    • @Dyanosis
      @Dyanosis Рік тому +3

      That's not a tip, that's an opinion. A tip is teaching someone something that's actually useful.
      An option is, normally, an unsolicited statement that has no actual value except to the person expressing it.
