Using Battlemaps in Embers Play

Battle Maps in Embers Play

In this video, we take a quick look at how battle maps work in Embers Play, the session and campaign management tool for tabletop RPGs.

You’ll see the GM and player views side by side, including how map visibility is controlled, how tokens are placed, and how initiative and conditions are tracked in real time.

What’s covered:

• How campaigns and sessions are structured in Embers Play
• Adding a battle map to a session and controlling player visibility
• Drawing maps on the fly
• Using the built-in creature library (includes every monster from the 5e and 5.5e SRD)
• Token features and per-player stat visibility rules
• The initiative tracker and condition system, including automatic duration countdown

Embers Play is designed to feel like sitting around a dry-erase board: simple, fast, and focused on the game.
