[QUOTE="Rabulias, post: 9205040, member: 16651"] Long overdue. Roll20 has a lot of technical debt that accumulated over the years. Before I left them three years ago for Foundry, I responded to one of their surveys by suggesting they needed to freeze legacy Roll20 development beyond maintenance, and start on Roll20 2.0 as a parallel project, maybe using another Kickstarter, and build it from the ground up using the latest and greatest in web technology. The web world changed dramatically in the years after Roll20's launch in 2012. Some of it they kept up with, but much of it they did not. Very interesting that Riley is back. He was such a driving force at Roll20 back in the day, but I worried about so much being on his shoulders, both as a personal stress issue for him, as well as a company becoming too reliant on a single person's work. Now that he is back maybe he can provide a vision and roadmap to revitalize Roll20 without having to do so much work himself. I really want a robust VTT marketplace, each driving the others to improve. I wish them well, but they will have to do pretty magical stuff to woo me away from Foundry at this point. [/QUOTE]
