Media, Sheets, and Session Flow
Rolisteam lets you import images and trigger audio clips to set mood and atmosphere. That makes it easier to convey scenery or dramatic moments without physical props. At the same time, tools for maintaining character information and logging session events help keep campaigns organized over multiple sessions.
