Birthright in roll20

[rdnsantos]

Hello Regents,

Do you use Roll 20 with Birthright? Do you have any tips? How do you handle the mass combat with the cards, do you use it? I run a BR campaign in roll 20, but only after almost 2 years the players are able to get a domain for them.

Thanks

Yes I do, at least I tried. I even ripped the Gorgon's Alliance domain map music to improve the mood ;)

My suggestion is to keep the map at minimum. I didn't used any sheet, everyone was on his excel spreadsheet synched via dropbox. I uploaded a bunch of small, colored tokens to represent armies and ships, and we used the line graphic tool to draw ley lines/roads/trade routes, and keep track of units HP. that's about it.
I have no roll20 script-fu skill so I honestly don't know if something more can be achieved.

As for battles, we use the "mass rules" formula, usually, but i guess it should not be too hard to emulate a chess-like battle on roll20. We use my "battlefield!" app to keep track of unit stats, but it has no online capability (sorry :( )

the seeds of wars team is building a web app to handle BR games online, I understand, so maybe you can give it a look.
