[QUOTE="redrick, post: 7667236, member: 6777696"] Amen to that. Yes, I followed your earlier thread exploring virtual tabletops as an option. I love a lot about Roll20 and think their team is very responsive and active about expanding the software with new features. I also love that the software is very much geared towards flexibly supporting as many different applications as possible, though some of this comes at the expense of the more sophisticated automation. I love that the community is huge and that I can get several thoughtful responses to a Looking for Group announcement in a couple of days. I do not love spending my sunday afternoon coding in monster and NPC stats and macros. I'm really looking forward to an upcoming thread on this site that does some serious comparisons between Roll20 and FG, with a lot of contributions from the folks now who are making the switch. I also hope that, at some point, way opens for Roll20 to provide some sort of content support for D&D 5e. I'd happily pay $50 to have all the Monster Manual tokens pre-coded with attack macros, saving throw macros, trait descriptions, etc. That would be an incredible value. Unfortunately, I think Roll20 is probably a ways off from that, as they only just demoed their first "compendium" style system, and it is using Pathfinder (because of OGL) as the test case. [/QUOTE]
