Thanks for the info! I had seen those before. This is the second time we try to get into dnd (it'd be our first game), and I tried to use Roll20 before. It was a little overwhelming, between not knowing the first thing about dnd and a poor UI (to me). We chose owlbear because of its simplicity, if my guys don't feel like dnd is for them, we didn't spend too much time or any money on software.

Next campaign though, I'd like to try roll20. If I end up rolling lowest and get stuck with DMing again.

I think owl ear would be good for a first campaign for sure- a feature-rich cry has a lot to learn, and that’s a lot to do when also learning the game.

Just a quick update. We had our first session yesterday. It was a little rough at first, everyone talking over each other but ae rolled for initiative for interactions out of combat, and everything after went without a hitch. Except the boss fight, I had some real bad rolls and my players put the aberrations down without taking a single hit. Still, they had fun, and I had fun. Owlbear was fine, it did the job. Wish it communicated heights better but, eh, making the maps in rimworld probably didn't help.

Thanks for the help! I quite like being a DM.
