I'm generally a pretty lax DM when I play games, and I tend to play a lot of Dungeon World, so I don't do a lot of pre-planning or dungeon design, and I tend to do a lot of scribbling on the map and telling my players to draw the environment as well. Basically, I don't really fancy how the drawing tools work right now, every line becoming an object on the current layer can easily become a pain when people have to swap between layers and tools to make sure we're not accidentally moving around the background as we draw it and move things around. The ability to erase isn't very good either, as all the distinct lines make individual objects instead of operating how my players assume it's going to operate, like a whiteboard, as if they were drawing in say, MS Paint or something. That's the way I play in-person games anyway, I plop down a whiteboard on a table and give every player some markers and have them go nuts as we go through a session. I have a couple online friends who are artists who play with me and they always want to go back to gametable because the drawing tools in there make a lot more intuitive sense to them than how Roll20 operates. And it's such a massive pain in the butt to get everyone set up with working copies of gametable and token libraries and stuff, Roll20 is so much more convenient to use. Would it be at all possible to add better drawing functionality? I'd like to be able to just have a pen tool with various colors and line weights and an eraser tool that works like an eraser would, that everyone can draw and erase on, regardless of who is doing the drawing or erasing. Maybe a dedicated drawing layer that all drawings go on regardless of what layer is currently chosen, that sits about the Map & Background layer? I'm not sure. But the way drawings make distinct objects right now just bugs the hell out of me. Edit: I asked a friend of mine and she said what she wants is raster drawing, not vector drawing. So that, I guess?
