Hello,
I was thinking about bandwidth and contemplating lag, when I thought about a couple things:
1. Is it possible to place large tokens (houses, horse and cart, hay mow, temple, etc.) onto a plain map, thereby being able to arrange those tokens to create various maps? For example, if I have six houses tokens, I could plop them onto my plain cobble map in a formation that creates an alley and street, where the PCs might fight with a group of wererat thieves. I also drop some crate tokens, a sewer grate token, and a lamp post token. In this way, all the players would have the tokens already, so bandwidth would be saved during gameplay. Is this a good idea? Or am I off the deep end?
2. Is it possible to 'stack' tokens, so I could drop a river token, then drop a bridge token over the river?
What does anyone think?
Regards,
JFK
