As the title says, what's your go-to when it comes to things like notes and maps. Personally, I like Obsidian and Tabletop RPG Map editor II from the lead dev of Dead Cells.

I also like https://when2meet.com/ for resolving scheduling conflicts.

Obsidian is a must have.

Since sessions are frequently run over Discord, I use HammerTime to make sure everyone is seeing the same time being displayed.

I've been running Lancer for over a year, so all my tools are very particular in their uses. Lancer Map Creation Tool has been extremely handy in, well, creating maps and RetrogradeMinis in making up PC and NPC tokens. I also use this Pixel Art Furniture Pack for human-sized encounters, as its the only one I know that's more focused on modern aesthetics instead of vaguely medieval fantasy.

Never heard of that Map Editor before, I'll give it a look, thanks for the rec.

Oooh I had no idea about the Lancer map creator, that will be very useful. I'm decent at making maps manually but a shortcut for adding all the information like cover to a grid would speed things up substantially

I personally like the lightweight option at https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/
