I have only started playing dnd and using roll20 a year ago, and for months I have been trying to understand the dynamic lighting to no avail (I am a bit slow), within 20 minutes you taught me everything i needed to know and couldn't understand before. Thank you.
Thank you for this guide! I just dropped money to upgrade my Roll20 subscription to include dynamic lighting and immediately went "Oh boy, this is a lot to deal with..." Your video does a great job of covering all of the tips and techniques I need to set my players up for an amazing adventure through the Forge of Fury!
You have enLIGHTened me, good sir! I was so confused on how everything worked before this. I invested in dynamic lighting to spice up my games and because of this I feel confident implementing it!
When I "Launch as a player instead," it doesn't let me specify which player, and when i "double click" player token(s) i don't see the option to set "token vision". Thought maaybe R20 had changed the interface (again) but this comment is 2 days old. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for your guides on Roll20 Mr. Olivo, they're helping me to run my very first campaign. After a month of setting up all of the maps, tokens, character sheets, and everything else I have finally come to the lighting and wall drawing. I was intimidated going in but I could totally get this finished by the end of today. You're awesome! ☺
thx, i had the old dynamic feature figured out to a T, but they didn't make the new dynamic lighting feature very user-friendly. had to look this up after a few hours failing to figure it out on my own. appreciate the tutorial!
Wow great tutorial! I wish the "night vision" system would let you set it so that the players would still virw the map is if dimly lit, instead of brightly. (And maybe also a separate setting for low light vision too, letting that convert originally-dim lit areas into appearing as bright) All these features already though have me excited to step up how my games look online :)
I know this is off topic, but I've got an issue in my roll20 5e game and I don't see where you have tackled it before. I'm playing a low lever bard and find I became the DeFacto healer. When we achieved 4th level, I took a level of Life Domain Cleric to cheese some more out of it. Here is my issue. I tend to forget that I need to set my primary ability from charisma to wisdom. I had no issue making the macro add the life domain bonus but not how to make the macro set to wisdom for my 4 cleric spells. If you have a video about this already, could you point me to it? If not, could you consider working this into a episode?
Great video. Unfortunately DL has been so buggy each and every time I tried to use it with marketplace campaigns that I usually turn it off and switch to FoW. Would love some kind of « eraser » tool to reveal FoW obscured areas but I can manage the square and polygon reveal modes.
One thing I've noticed is many marketplace modules have vision on for the NPC tokens, and that's not necessary since as the DM you can see everything. I found if I turned the NPC's vision settings off, performance improved, and you can use token-mod to turn vision off in bulk, if there are a lot of NPC tokens on the map. Happy gaming!
I really appreciate everything you do. Thank you from an internet stranger.

Really cool vid
Is secret doors made so the GM can reveal them or is there a way for the players to "discover" secret doors?
Right now it's so the DM can reveal them.
No matter what I do, my player vision keeps being only black
