So, after almost 2 decades I decided to 0lay DND again. Since I have been and always will be forever DM, I've been reading up.

I am very charmed about the idea of foundry (that I have a liscence to (what can I say, I'm impulsive)), but have no experience with.

So: DM's and players that play locally: how do you play?

Do you do oldstyle pen and paper? Printed maps? 3d printed? Foundry for battle and the rest theatre of the mind? Weird combos?

Tell me and inspire me to navigate my fresh crew and myself through this new and perilous world.

Edit: did NOT expect so many reactions so fast here, loving it.

Roll20 as my VTT, but we do all audio and video over discord. My players all use dndbeyond for the character sheets, so we use the Beyond20 extension to bridge the two.

Maps mainly just for battles and bases, but I will sometimes use a roll20 map screen just to show an image to set the stage for theater of the mind. Lately I've been using Easy Diffusion to make some of those images.

I get my maps all over and make some (occasionally) with DungeonDraft. I've got a bunch of map and tile packs from DMs Guild, but I forget about them and search around for what what I need instead. I also always keep an eye on !battlemaps@lemmy.world, subscribe to Cze and Peku, and will search the the battlemap subreddits when all else fails.

For notes I started using Obsidian with my most recent campaign. Being able to link and query is handy.
