Listening to American political podcasts in 2025 seems like a quick way to go insane.

2025-02-18 23:29:10 +0000 UTCA friend I play D&D with made a wood frame & acrylic face around a spare TV to be a digital map surface placed on his dining room table. He hooked up his laptop and used the TV as a second screen and was using Roll20 for the maps and creatures while we put our physical minis on the acrylic protecting the TV. We most recently did do the first level of Dungeon of the Mad Mage because he found a free map of the first level (it has HUGE maps). It was pretty good for him to be able to scroll around such a twisty maze of passages but there were certainly also some usability bumps. Sometimes some confusion on what specific creatures we're targeting when his perspective is 90 degrees relative to the way the TV map was oriented and some troubles hiding/revealing/moving creature tokens were up there. Finally not easily finding a map for the 2nd level he could import and use was one of them that led us back to theatre of the mind or our standby of dry erase grid tiles. (we didn't play that campaign much longer due to a bunch of scheduling issues)
