Hello, new DM here and we will be playing in about a week.
I have created the campaign on DDB, created the unassigned characters, and am waiting for my players to claim them.
Once that is done, and I given a button to start the campaign? Read the adventure prompts to them? Or is it strictly adding players and using other tools like Roll20 for the actual game?!
OK thanks. I am exploring using Roll20 for maps and token movements for my players, but finding the learning curve to be steep even with the tutorial.
a good starting point is Above VTT, a chrome plugin that has an easier learning curve although is feature light compared to Roll 20, but might be a good starting point while you get used to DMing.
So I tried out Above VTT, and the extension loads and I start as DM, but my LMoP campaign does not load anything. I seem to be in a Tavern map, but no button to select the scenes.

You have to select the individual maps you want to use, they will be in a folder option when you go to create a new map.

It's just about player management (and providing a grouping for content sharing).

I’ll check that out. I tested roll20 and figured out how to use the few features I need it for, but like having options

thanks, I saw that. I was thrown off because the first encounter...the Goblin Ambush on the Triboar Trail was not there.
