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!
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 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!
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.
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 :)
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 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?
@NickOlivo Oh, I just like wild boars, so it's a tag, that I started using. I suppose it does seem pretty weird to people, who don't know me. Some think it has some greater meaning or that it is uwu or that I am a furry or something like that, but it's nothing like that. I just do it instead of saying "thanks" or "cheers". So do you work for Roll20 too or do you just have the channel. Working for Roll20 seems like it would ve really cool. = @ )
@@NickOlivo I doubt that it is cool to "oink" at people, but it does get their attention. = @ D I also like using Roll20 too, but I am still pretty bad at it. Your channel helps.
Man I've been trying to figure this out for months. I'm slow with VTT's and I appreciate you so much!!!!
I really appreciate everything you do. Thank you from an internet stranger.

Thanks for the updated video on the lighting. Well done Nick !!!
amazing video, helped me 10x more than their super quick and not indepth enough guides
Wow great tutorial!

Thank you, Nick. Your videos are great and you explain things so well. 👍🏻
Thank you very much, it really helped me understand this.
Fantastic video, you saved me an hour of trial-and-error / tinkering with the settings. Prompt and precise, please take my like and sub :3
Thank you for making this tutorial, you saved my dungeon!
So good, thank you very much! Better than roll20's explanation!
Thank you for another great video Nick! Happy gaming!
Thanks Nick! This was so helpful, I really appreciate it.....

Very helpful. Thanks!

Thanks! I have to ask, though, why "oink"?

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
