[QUOTE="ninjayeti, post: 9106273, member: 6789120"] I tend to agree with the OP. From what I have seen WotC seems to be counting on the "cool factor" of a 3D VTT to sell their product. But I am skeptical how impressive it will actually be for anyone who has played BG3 or really any modern CRPG. Particularly if (as seems likely) their VTT is more expensive or difficult to use as an actual TTRPG platform than the available options. I'd agree with the posters who say there is room for a more intuitive, easy to use VTT in the market. But that doesn't seem to be WotC's goal - rather they seem to be leaning on the 3D angle as the killer feature that will draw customers away from the competitors. I am skeptical that they going to improve on the underlying VTT experience while also adding the complexity that will be needed to implement the 3D features. I would have a lot more confidence if WotC set out to make the best 2D VTT, and once they had that dialed in they added the 3D stuff. I think the fancy graphics will get people to check it out, but if the underlying VTT experience is clunker than the alternatives no one is going keep running games on it. [/QUOTE]
