[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9616144, member: 6796661"] I'm a bit bummed out. I was hoping for a VTT developed bespoke for D&D, with solid support for its mechanics and smoothly linked to DDB. I like maps but I think it works because it is simple and I hope they don't over develop it. Really didn't care much for or against it being 3D. I'm not losing anything, really, because it would likely have been awhile before I could run it on a mac or for it to be good enough to be worth buying a PC to run games on it. And it will be some time before my current WFRP campaign wraps up. But I was hoping that by the end of the year, Sigil would be in a state to serious consider using. I would be nice if they would put some development into creating a game system for Foundry that provided robust mechanical support, but I suppose they don't want to risk sales on other platforms by playing favorite. This makes me more interested in seeing how the MCDM VTT turns out. It looks pretty, but that's not what will sell me. If MCDM pulls it off and develops a VTT that fully supports the mechanics of Draw Steel, I will seriously consider buying and running games in that system. VTT tech has gotten to the point that all of the major products meet my core needs for battlemap functionality, but none do a good job with mechanical support. I've also been following Foundry's Crucible system and backed their Ember campaign. Am a little optimistic that they will optimize mechanical support for Crucible and perhaps DnD 5e, but Foundry has a history of focusing on battlemap flash and not the GM QoL improvements I've desired for years.
