Virtual Tabletops
Many RPG players have migrated over to virtual tabletop (VTT) software during the pandemic. These tools often include multi-person connectivity, drawing features, token movement, and image import. If you want something simple, try out Owlbear Rodeo or Tableplop. If you want 3D, Talespire and Tabletop Simulator are the top two. For the largest feature set for 2D, try FoundryVTT. If you're running official Wizards of the Coast adventure modules, Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds have licenses to sell pre-made content on their platforms, so they'll be ready to go in less time.
RPG Stories is a 3D Virtual Tabletop that contains a massive World Builder for you to create your sessions in 3D & play with your party. Everything you need, all in one software!
