Maps of Hoard of the Dragon Queen now online!
The artist has put images/maps up for Hoard of the Dragon Queen, which is the big Adventurer's League storyline this season, up on his online store. The maps look great, and if all you want to use it for is Roll20, you can just download the sample image. I could probably get a better quality image from taking a picture on my smart phone and scaling it up, but this is far less work.
But do the artist a solid and buy a few. I'm sure they are spectacular at their actual size.

Hoard of the Dragon Queen VTT Maps Part 3
SPOILER WARNING for players. Here are a few more maps for HoDQ that were created by user Paul S. on Roll20. DM's are welcome to download these and then upload them into Roll20 (or VTT of choice).

Expedition Maps
Here are a few quick and dirty VTT maps that are compatible with Expeditions modules. The first two I made in about 20 minutes each, and don't have furnishings. I find it easier to just find the stuff I need in roll20, drag it in, and scale it there. Especially with things like chairs and beds, the character may want to move stuff around and if I put into the background image, that wouldn't work, visually.

This was made by Torgaard and posted to the Fantasy Grounds Forum. |
If you don't want to spend the money on Mike Schley's map, here are some community made maps that can be dropped right into Roll20.net or your VTT of choice. Player's be aware: SPOILERS.

Dungeon Masters - Start Thy Engines!
So in order to help DMs figure out how they can get things going I wanted to outline a few steps that may help encourage you to get started and start running online games.
The Player's Handbook comes out tomorrow in FLGs and on the 18th everywhere else, and being that the rules from the Basic Rules PDF are less than a month old I can see why there are very few 5e games going on online. But, we have enough to get started now.

The Adventure
As of this date there is one adventure that is sanctioned for DnD's organized play: The Lost Mines of Phandelver and this comes in the Starter Set. The adventure itself can be broken down into 2-3 hour chunks, and I'll do that in a later post, but being so early in the products life cycle, there will a good chance you'll be starting from the beginning with players that have never played it. There will be more officially sanctioned adventures later on, but this is all we have right now, so not a difficult choice. If you don't already have it, I think they sell it pretty much everywhere. Here's the official word on how to run Lost Mines for Adventurer's League characters now.

Finding or Creating Tokens for VTTs
I just noticed there we're a few people on the list that we're asking about how to find tokens for their player characters. Tokens are what represent your character when you using maps on the various VTTs and in the case roll20.net, all a DM needs to do is drag and drop your token onto the virtual table, give you control of that token, and your good to do.
If you want to make your own token, with either your custom image or something you find online, Token Tool, is your best bet, and is an easy program to use. Keep in mind you'll need to install it and it uses Java.
If you want to find a top down token of your own, Google Image search works wonders, or there's plenty of free top down tokens at Devin Night's site.
When DMs ask for your token just email them the one you want to use.
