I guess I'm not a fan of drawing on maps to indicate this though I certainly see the "pen and paper feel" appeal of it.
I also like pinging on a map to draw the players' attention to a potential sound. I, so far in my tinkering, have not found this similar tool in FG. I like the idea that they're so immersed in the world that they feel the need to plan like that and to take distance into consideration. My players at times look at world maps and calculate distance using the legend and ruler tool and the use it in character to plan their day/trips. If you're a FG GM, what's your map strategy? Is there such a thing as too many maps? Is there an organization method that works well for you? If you're a theatre of the mind GM, how do you handle combat? If you run tabletop games with a lot of visuals, what has worked well for you? If you are a heavy user of maps, have you used Roll20 before? What's your experience of the two apps? However, though I am an artist, I have limited time to create engaging maps and I've relied on Roll20s token system for guidance in that area. Another article also referenced that fact that if Roll20 went belly up, I'd lose all access to my lovely hand created maps and I can't disagree. I read an article where the writer claimed that Roll20 fell into a business trap of focusing on maps. I'm very visual and it helps me to create and stay in the immersion of the world with maps. Now, I'm going to bring a bit of my dayjob into this potential plan of switching and I hope you don't mind helping. It's gone more swimmingly than a trout, I daresay! However, the topic of switching to Fantasy Grounds has come up and I have to give it serious consideration since 1 of my players suffers from a slow computer and struggles with her character sheet. I started playing online using Roll20 and this year I started GMing my first game using Pathfinder's APs as a guide. I'm a decade+ old tabletop veteran of DnD 3.5 and a recent Pathfinder player and DM (~2 years).
