[QUOTE="Myrdin Potter, post: 7734982, member: 6843593"] As a pure reference tool, just looking up rules and such, DnD Beyond is easier to use. If that is all you are doing, then I agree that FG is overkill. Many people were using it as an online reference source in the past when there were no other choices. However, for tracking combat and projecting maps and being a reference all at the same time, FG is much better that DnD Beyond. And for actually running the games remotely, FG is the only choice between the two of them because it is a VTT and DnD Beyond is not. As a reference, many DM's would be quite happy with a PDF, DnD Beyond is still more than what is needed to quickly look up a rule without searching through a paper book. Since that is not an option, others must be used. That has little to do with the new ruleset for Starfinder. Paizo publishes and sells PDF. FG is now the most advanced VTT to run Starfinder on plus you get credit for PDF purchases from Paizo. [/QUOTE]
