Help needed: how do YOU do things? (feddit.nl)

So, after almost 2 decades I decided to 0lay DND again. Since I have been and always will be forever DM, I've been reading up.

I am very charmed about the idea of foundry (that I have a liscence to (what can I say, I'm impulsive)), but have no experience with.

So: DM's and players that play locally: how do you play?

Do you do oldstyle pen and paper? Printed maps? 3d printed? Foundry for battle and the rest theatre of the mind? Weird combos?

Tell me and inspire me to navigate my fresh crew and myself through this new and perilous world.

Edit: did NOT expect so many reactions so fast here, loving it.

I don't use ChatGPT for scene creation, but for creating stat blocks for minor NPCs. My scenes are all handwritten in a notebook unfortunately. I keep telling myself someday I will digitize them into PDFs/modules, but I'm at about 3 years of content right now 😬

There are a few good creators on r/battlemaps that have patreon subs available (with many freebies too on that subreddit). I also have purchased dungeondraft, but as of yet have not delved into creating my own maps. I generally find something "close enough" and then tell my players what specifically is different in the scene should it come up.
