Man, hearing your group is split on this takes me back. We had the same fight last year and it almost ruined game night. Some folks love the speed of apps, but others miss the feel of paper. Good luck finding a middle ground without starting a civil war. Honestly, both sides have a point, which makes it even harder.
Ugh, my friend's group tried to mix both to keep peace. They used an app for rolling but paper sheets, and it just slowed everything to a crawl. People kept forgetting where they wrote stuff down or missed app notifications. It kinda made the worst parts of both options stand out.
Figure out what exactly is causing the split. Is it just about speed, or is there something deeper like people feeling the app takes away from the game's vibe?
