I agree! A 3D VTT would be really useful, and I think you could make one that runs in a browser and doesn't require a high end machine. You could even use tokens on stands instead of needing 3D model minis. But there are still challenges there. A 3D map would take longer to set up for the DM...

The thing is, I'm not against D&D being monetized in principle, but they're so bad at it, both in the sense of monetizing it in ways that are unlikely to work... and bad in the sense of ethically dubious at best. They keep alienating customers for no discernible gain, and last I heard Hasbro...

Y'ain't wrong.

I have. Obviously not the point of the post overall, but Foundry actually works pretty well on Steam Deck if you're just playing. DMing would be a pain though.

There was a pretty horrific tragedy that derailed that project and nobody knew how to use his code but the (now-deceased) development lead. So yeah it fell through.

Oh man don't even get me started. The offline character builder for 4E worked great but they insisted on moving to the web-based Silverlight version.

Honestly this is what I find most confusing... even smart phones these days can run visuals more advanced than an Xbox 360. There was no need to make Sigil require a high-end computer to run. Building in something as taxing as Unreal 5 was IMO a strange choice.

Are they gonna make any money of Sigil? Cuz a lot of people told them it was likely to fail and they did THAT anyway.

Nope. Got out of that habit after playing Dragon Age Origins and realizing how much I liked not having to worry about it. The only ammunition we track is special ammo like Arrows of Dragon Slaying or exploding crossbow bolts.

Incidentally, that image is from Worlds Without Number. It's released for use in any commercial or personal project, just credit Ede Laszlo.

Yeah I can make do without Multiclassing and while there are some Feats I'm quite fond of they're not worth going through twenty levels with mundane equipment. Especially in any edition but 4th, since monsters are often resistant or immune to non-magical weapons.

Minor Magic for Martials sounds like fun & Knacks are a great way to do it

Right, I meant in terms of how up to date it was, not that it includes closed content.

It really is great. Not only is most of the content from a5e.tools already implemented in the base module, it also comes with stuff from MOAR and several other third party supplements in the compendium. So if you want to play a Goliath or Tabaxi or some other heritage not converted in official...

@Umbran The art really does look like Harris though. I don't think it's political to notice that?

Glad your table is having fun with this. I'd recommend not using Critical Success/Fumble tables with skill rolls. That's one of the most baffling inclusions in A5E. I take it you've only got one session in the can so far, so I'm interested in seeing how it progresses. Is Player C using the 5E...

Not to mention some Combat Traditions are heavy on reaction maneuvers and if anything could use more ways of getting extra reactions.

Strongly depends on the caster.

Pulling has been dead for almost 30 years, stop living in the past.

My limited experience with Fantasy Grounds was not positive (the program felt obtuse and the o5E game we used it for ended with a TPK at level 1) so I can't speak to how well it works with A5E compared to other VTTs. But in general previously mentioned ideas are solid. Eliminating dice...
