@AndrewWriteGood Yeah, most of these tools cheapen the #TTRPG experience, IMO. You end up with a table full of folks staring at their phones waiting to click the button rather than engaging with the game. It's really not that hard to go analog, folks have done it for decades. Then there's the insidious vendor lock in for digital assets, but that's a different terrible aspect of WotC/Hasbro I despise too.
@zdl@AndrewWriteGood I play in a hybrid in-person/remote game that uses tech in a less intrusive way to include everyone but it's still a struggle to keep distractions to a minimum. Searchable PDFs are nice sometimes for quick reference. But I really prefer a paper character sheet and hardcopy books most of the time, and I don't want everything automated to the point of just playing a videogame.
