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.

    I use foundry and love it. I’ve switched to PF2E but ran 5e on there for about 2 years. It works great for doing a lot of automation for you and you can still throw up a background image for TotM scenes. Definitely my favorite method I’ve tried for our virtual group. Though when we have In-person sessions we still use foundry with eneryone on laptops because it’s so much easier.

      That last bit is one of my problems.

      The gang is ALWAYS together for things like this, never remote.

      And foundry is not really local friendly I think.
