NGL I’m the kind of DM that makes my players draw their own maps. I also handout character sheets that are also journals for player notes. I stitch them myself and as they fill I’ll bind more pages into their journals.

No digital devices are allowed to be out at my table too.

The players are A LOT more engaged when they do that.

    Never really played TTRPGs. Getting my feet wet with One Shot Dungeon after work. Got my grid paper and dice ready.

    For DnD this might be cool but for video games I’m playing to unwind not work and I need my QOL upgrades haha

      Different strokes for different folks.

      Sometimes I’m looking for a gritty note heavy experience, sometimes I’m looking for an easy and fun romp.

    I’m drawing maps as I play the original Phantasy Star. I find it oddly calming and relaxing.

      Yes, it’s the best way to play that and a few of those other 3D exploration games like Shining in the Darkness.

      I like the DS games Etrian Odyssey, they use the touch screen and force you to draw your own maps. The HD remakes are ok but that’s by mouse and don’t feel the same, lol.

      Edit- funny I didn’t see the other comment mentioning it too, haha. Funny they’re all SEGA now (even if EO is Atlus, lol).

        Ooh I didn’t know about the touchscreen function inEtrian Odyssey. I’ll have to give it a try. Thank you!
