If people hadn't done it in that section, it would've been elsewhere. Either in the general 5e forums or reddit/r/3d6. It might seem like encouraging that type for play but it's for the best: the general forums won't be flooded and EN World gets to keep more users.

I think Dynamic Lightning is very fun and adds a lot to immersion. I don't feel like Fog of War is the same...
I've been mulling this over since the news has come out. I'm still on the fence.
I used Roll20 weekly and I love it. I pay for Mentor. My players love it, especially dynamic lighting. One of my ex-players was on Linux and it took no effort for them to join in.
As for Fantasy Grounds, So I...
