Tried going full digital on my last campaign map and honestly ended up frustrated with the software lag and the wonky river tools. Went back to tracing paper and a lightbox for the terrain bits, then scanned it to add labels digitally later. Way less headache lol.

Digging bar first always lets me feel where the hidden boulders actually are.

Right, but then they get mad you kept secrets.

I mean, totally same here. Once you try it you can't go back.

I feel you on that "hot" variant thing. I paid $70 for a Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider foil thinking I'd flip it in a month, and now it's sitting in my short box with a $4 sticker. What finally worked for me was making a hard rule: I only buy variants if I actually like the art enough to frame it. Saved me probably a few hundred bucks this year alone.
