I like D&D for my character sheets and making characters but Roll20.net for the actual running of game things.

Roll20 has a lot of features, but personally I prefer the 3D landscapes offered by Tabletop Simulator on Steam. It's not fancy, doesn't have all these tricks, but I haven't missed their absence, personally. The players like actually "rolling" the dice, which TTS more realistically simulates an actual table.
Between Tabletop Simulator, DDB tabs, and OneNote campaign notes, I've got all I need.
i really like D&D beyonds character creation. I had another thread on that, but lookIng for advice on tools?
However the lack of campaign tools is disappointing. What online tools are people also using?

Currently it's D&D Beyond and Roll20. I'll dump Roll20 like a stinking garbage fire as soon as I find something better, though.
