Hi friend!

Here's a sneak preview of an upcoming YouTube video on setting up all of the Ravenloft maps in Owlbear Rodeo in ten minutes. It has some juicy tips for lazy VTT setup in the beginning.

If you're seeing the video marked "private", that means I've scheduled it for general release and it will be back up soon.

This is great stuff!!

Amazing. The tip for generating tokens via Discord really blew my mind! Can't wait to try this!

Mike, this is amazing and so timely! I was just lamenting to a friend how prepping for an online game felt like double prepping having to get all the maps, tokens, etc. setup (using Roll20 which I've very familiar with). I've used Owlbear Rodeo just a bit in the past but I think I'm going to transition over to it as my go-to especially with the Avrae token tricks in Discord! Thanks a TON for this video and keep up the great work!

I love Owlbear Rodeo. I joined their Patreon to support them. It is the best VTT I have used and it is free. How is this possible? Support them if you can.

No word of a lie, I cancelled a whole campaign over lockdown last year because I could not face etching out another thousand yards of dungeon for lighting effects in a VTT. I wish I had seen this video 18 months ago. Never-the-less, good work!

Thank you SO much!! The timeliness of this video is almost supernatural (yes, I know... Ravenloft) That was a huge help!

I've gone through and set up an entire Roll20 game of Castle Ravenloft manually, and I can tell you it takes about 15 hours. Mike, as always, has a better way. I was genuinely surprised by how easy that was, even though the video title told me so. Thanks for sharing!

I may scrap my yearlong Roll20 and change to OBR. This looks easy
