For the campaign I am running we are using Owlbear.rodeo for maps, and Discord (with a awesome bot) for rolls & chat,
We also have our own Wiki for Stats & Previews (the campaign is build like a TV-Series).
The fact, that the RPG-System is rather on the rules-light-side also helps.
btw I cannot recommend having a good Discord-bot enough
As a player I am in one group that uses Roll20 with D&D Beyond + Plugin as well as Discord for communication
that also works well
If you have to play a dungeon-heavy game, where the dm is not sharing the map with you (like AD&D),
then the following free tool can be very useful, especially if you share your screen with Discord:
Since this sadly remains relevant more than a year later … well, how are your digital sessions going? Any advice or experiences to share?
I think my favorite thing about online gaming has been the games specifically designed to be played remotely. Irx ran a memorable session of Alice Is Missing recently; Darth introduced me to ViewScream … it’s impressive how games like that turn the disadvantage of playing online into an essential, immersive feature. Good stuff.
Baron Munchausen, Over The Edge & Orbital were also crazy
others I can recommend are Honey Heist and The Skeletons
Digital campaign wise … we wanted to start a Mutant Year Zero campaign in December,
but started yet another Star Trek Adventures campaign instead (this time Feds),
'cause life, a great new book came out, we already know the system, it’s easy to run online,
and I love moral dilemmas in stories
