I have found Zoom to be unworkable, and even Discord has dropped members from the conversation. I live in a rural area, with very limited bandwidth. Now you and your players can move the pieces around the board. Just import the board… chess, backgammon, parchesi, othello, etc… lock it down, and import the pieces. The fact is, you can create any kind of board game in Miro.
I like the idea of hyperlinking one object to another in the board, and I’ll have to play with that.
Then, the players and I can zoom in up to 400% (for an 800% zoom!), turning the entire image into a giant battle map. I can import an image and scale it so that you have to be out at about 50% or less to see the whole thing. I know I’ve just scratched the surface of what it can do, But one of the great things is the amazing real time zoom capabilities. But I found Miro because I was looking for a solution to my D&D game. I’m using Miro to design some educational materials which I'll share soon. The players can move their own tokens, and as they explore new areas, I drag my pre grouped tiles off from the side and build more dungeon.įor any old time D&D players… this is the dungeon beneath the moathouse ruins from The Village of Hommlet, re-imaged for online play. But Thursday night, a player “took a torch” off the wall… I simply ungrouped it from the wall and grouped it to his character token. I am adding light and shadow in Miro using simple shapes and locking them down. I saved them to that size at 150 dpi and imported them into Miro, and they are working wonderfully. On a physical game table, the game is played at a scale of 1”=5’, so a 20x20 would be 4” x 4”.
My tiles are “10x10”, “20x20”, “30x40”, etc… These number represent room sizes in feet. I imported them into Miro, and arranged them and locked them down. I am a long-time graphic designer, and created modular “tiles” in Adobe Illustrator and saved them as pngs in Photoshop. Miro has been everything I could hope for so far. Our weekly table game was rudely interrupted by the Virus We Shall Not Name, and I got the idea from another player to look into collaborative whiteboard platforms. I just began using Miro last week, and decided to try it as a solution to moving my Dungeons and Dragons game online. Awesome topic! Tanuri thank you for starting Brill once mentioned that they moved their Dungeons and Dragons game to Miro.
