The maps and tokens are a godsend . Thank Alex Drummond for the Epic Isometric pack, players are too busy fiddling with their tokens to be distracted by things out of game. Dynamic Lighting is a necessity. Isometric tokens + Dynamic Lightning make players feel like they’re playing a video game, and they will focus on the POV of their character.
To that end, players can interact as their tokens as well. They don’t all need to talk in voice chat, they can text chat their responses. Only the Caller and the DM actually need to use voice at all. The DM for obvious reasons, 90% of mic time would be the DM. While the Caller is organizing players or the DM is describing the world, the players can text their responses.
Group initiative from O/AD&D is the only way to play. In Movement phase, all players move tokens. They don’t need approval. Just move your token to where you want to be. In the attack phases, everyone just rolls all their own dice, and the DM can pick successes. It’s so simple and fast.
