But Covid has pushed everything online and back fully into the theater of the mind. <br /><br />I think there is probably some analysis to be done on what types of adventures work best over video conferencing vs in person.

I also like when players have some record because often it is the only record. <br /><br />I did some thinking about what a dungeon might look like if it was designed to be easy for players to map when described to them (http://recedingrules.blogspot.com/2010/09/easy-map-dungeon.html) with all the community suggestions and revisions it turned into this: http://recedingrules.blogspot.com/2010/09/easy-map-dungeon-iv.html<br /><br />In practice, I just started drawing the immediate area surrounding the players with dry erase marker on a game mat. It seems a good compromise, the players see exactly how the rooms look, but I erase as they move on, so they need to make their own map if they don't want to get lost.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.com
