HLO Use Question

Krothos · December 11th, 2020, 08:06 AM

Looking forward to when LW releases PF1 on HLO, does HLO offer the following?

- Built in dice rolling?
- GM overview to see those rolls from his own instance of HLO?
- GM overview to see the characters sheets from his own instance of HLO?

Yes, yes, and yes.

If HLO had a super simple grid with tokens I wouldn't even need Roll20 anymore.

Same here. I really just use roll20 for uploading a jpg and npc art.
For games where we play in person, being able to whisper a connected player info about their roll or if they understand a language being spoken the others dont would be great.

It would be pretty amazing to see the stage and scripts connected to represented tokens on a map. I supposed that would start moving HLO into a virtual table top but I think the stage and any starship management type thing sort of is one already?
Who knows what the future might bring

If I was a better coder I'd probably investigate a really simple framework for MapTool (my VTT of choice) that just connected HLO to tokens and displayed states & stats, but my first look at the process convinced me that I'm not that good.

As far as "a super simple grid with tokens" goes, I haven't tried it myself but I've read good things about https://www.owlbear.rodeo/
