I agree with Gauss, while offering to pay is a really nice thought, you will find that there are a lot of people on the forum more than happy to offer advice for free, and i'm happy to add a couple of bits and pieces to start with. Macros can really speed game play up, but writing them can be a bit of a steep learning curve. If you are using a game that is played a lot such as D&D 5E or Pathfinder you will probably find a lot of information on macros on the Wiki or in the forums where other players have already asked the same questions. Remember if you activate a function from a character sheet, such as an attack roll, you can use the up arrow on your key board to find out what the in built macro looked like, you can then use this as a template to write other ones. I would also suggest you consider upgrading to a Pro account if you run games. The APIs (Mods) were very daunting at first as I had no programming experience, but now I regularly have several active in games. Rather than trying to find a list of what to install, i would suggest working out what you want one to do, and then see if you can find one that does that. if something (other than dynamic lighting) is slowing the game play down, there might well be an API that can help speed it up. As well as the APIs, the transmogrifier is a godsend, you can easily transfer handouts, characters, maps etc between games. Having a holding game for maps and monsters and then just transferring what you need for a session to your main game can help prevent the game clogging up with items which can lead to a lot of lag. Finally, I know AIArt is a bit of a touchy subject, but I use it a lot for things like one of character tokens for NPCs etc. The one I use is Midjourney, it gives you about 25 images for free so you can try it out and then there is a monthly subscription fee, however you can see the devs are working on it and there are regular updates to it. Having spoken to some players who have used some of the free programs it does sound like Midjourney is a step above them. Learning to use AIArt is a bit of an art form in itself as sometimes what you ask for isnt' really what you wanted, and you have to learn how to word the prompts to get the correct result. Oh and there is no such thing as a stupid question, we all had to start somewhere and what may seem obvious to one can be totally obscure to another.
