about to sit down and play D&D with my partner. Been busy with art and house work and such so he wanted to take a day off and have me join him and his friends for D&D on roll20. haven't played in years. Nice to see the re interest of the game due to the twitch stream shows, apps, art , and models. However Ive noticed now days people are really big into visual apps and props to the point where they are a MUST HAVE. statues, maps that must be followed to the "T" and other things. I mean its cool and all, but i feel like they bog down play when over reliant on them.
To me the fun of D&D is the imagination of it all. if you need a map its usually more for like "how far away from the enemy are we?" or "where are we?" then the DM (if they're good) would just give a awesome explanation or if visuals are needed, it more of a reff image or "oh here let me scribble this.... the tree is that big"
Again its cool to see all these props, apps and other visual aids for those who need it, but i feel like relying on them and making it the only way to play kinda ruins the point of playing D&D.
Whats yalls thoughts, I would love to know :)
