Help needed: how do YOU do things? - eviltoast

So, after almost 2 decades I decided to 0lay DND again. Since I have been and always will be forever DM, I’ve been reading up.

I am very charmed about the idea of foundry (that I have a liscence to (what can I say, I’m impulsive)), but have no experience with.

So: DM’s and players that play locally: how do you play?

Do you do oldstyle pen and paper? Printed maps? 3d printed? Foundry for battle and the rest theatre of the mind? Weird combos?

Tell me and inspire me to navigate my fresh crew and myself through this new and perilous world.

Edit: did NOT expect so many reactions so fast here, loving it.

    For the game I run, we’re just remote, even though we’re all in the same town and could be in person. For the group I’m a player in, we sometimes do remote, sometimes in person. When we play in person, then DM keeps Foundry on the TV. We bring laptops so we can interact with it.

    As a side note one of the things I love about Foundry is how well it pairs with Dungeondraft, which is also purchase-once rather than subscription based. Makes it really easy to have custom maps
