so, this isn’t something that happened in game, but this is about VTTs, so i think (and hope) it fits here.

> been trying to find a good VTT that works well in mobile for months
> can’t self host because ISP is dumb and won’t let me make a server
> don’t have money to buy anything, not that i would anyway since most paid vtts dont even work on mobile
> tried a bunch of actual VTTs, some of them don’t let me customize the movement (in pf2e diagonals work differently from dnd, and most vtts use dnd as a base), some won’t let me import my own maps, and most (if not all) won’t even run anywhere higher than 2fps
> gave up trying to find an actual VTT, started thinking more creatively.
> what would i need in real life? a piece of paper with a map printed on it and some small objects to place on top.
> so what i would need for a VTT is exactly that
> immediately think of google slides, which i remember being used similarly in some random youtube video… and it doesn’t update on mobile unless you close and reopen the file
> think of giving up and just opening a normal image editor and share screen through discord
> sounds really dumb, but could work… if i wanted to give my players and i a headache while trying to figure out where they wanna go every Stride action
> think think think…
> remember google slides, and how good it wouldve been if it was fully available on mobile
> remember about canva, a google slides alternative
> IT HAS MOBILE SUPPORT!!! but it’s laggier than anything ive tried so far…
> literal months later
> playing minecraft with my players through geyser (one of them doesn’t have a computer, and geyser lets people who play in other platforms join java servers)
> finally realise minecraft is the ultimate creative cross platform option for literally anything you can think of
> i create a creative server in aternos for us to use as a VTT
> i know a bit of command blocks, so i can do a lot of stuff to help make playing a bit easier
> we will play tomorrow, and i might even record it to post on youtube or something. i’m so happy

thanks mojang, i can finally play pathfinder with my friends again
