About 4 years ago, I spent a LOT of time testing nearly every VTT I could find. Besides keeping up with Foundry's development and the community mods, I backed and test Role for a use in non-battlemap heavy games. It is very nice, but I don't have time for running multiple campaigns and Foundry meets my needs for my current campaign. I've also tested DnD Beyonds new map feature, which I was actually pleasantly surprise with. I could easily see running a D&D game with just DnD Beyond and Discord. After more experience, I think I'm moving away from the idea of using Discord for background music. While I like being able to connect it to Spotify with Flavibot, I don't like switching back and forth between the my browser running Foundry VTT and Discord.  Also, the Moulinette modules are amazing. Used in conjunction with Foundries playlist features and map-area specific sound effects, it more than meets all my needs. Also, I can tie music or ambience with a map or an area of a map so that they just play automatically when I activate a map or the characters move their tokens to a specific area of a map.  Also, Moulinette gives a Syrincape-type sound board I can pull up within the VTT.  I just don't see a need to pipe music and sound effects through Discord. By "dice roller", you mean a bot within Discord, correct? Or is it a separate program that integrates with Discord?This is one reason I stuck with Discord. Where I am working when abroad I often don't have great internet and sometimes running both the VTT and Discord on my laptop causes sound issues or makes the VTT laggy. So I often pair my bluetooth headset to my phone and run voice over the Discord iPhone app. Discord has offered the best voice quality on poor connection of any other service I've tried. The only one that comes close is Google Meet. I didn't want to move from Google Meet, because I found its interface much cleaner than Discord and I could give a phone number for people to dial in if their Internet went down. But my players prefer Discord because many of them are on it frequently and have it running through the day and use it for many other gaming and social communication, so they wouldn't have to deal with another link. Easier for them to just use Discord. I'm not paying for Nitro or anything, so I'm fine with Discord. I run everything on my Mac, except when I need to run Discord on my phone because of bandwidth issues. I connect it to a TV. Foundry is on the TV and I use my laptop screen for Google Drive, PDFs, and DnD Beyond (when I was running D&D). Due to travel, I've ditched using any paper for notes and reference materials. Everything is either put in Foundry journals or Google Drive.  I do keep some scratch paper around when it is easier to just make some marks to track things in a game where it isn't as convenient to do so in the VTT. The only game-related coding I ever do are very simple macros for Foundry, usually just modifying existing macros from the Foundry user community.</blockquote>
