I plan to, doesn't mean I can't snark about this one though, does it?

The snark is just repetetive at this point.

What's the over/under on Wizards' stepping on their own feet with this new VTT? For historical basis of this conjecture please see gestures vaguely at the last two years

If it is as good as it looks, development cost was not low. So I hope they find a good way to monetize it.

And to be fair: a lot of the things in the last few years were blown out of proportion. Some things were not great, some things were actually understandable.

What I still find funny is how Kobold Press is still one of their partners going forward despite them producing a competitive product (Tales of Valiant).
So all the black flag things was just marketing for themselves. Bad? No. But this is (sadly) how it works in this business. If you don't make money, things are not getting produced.

I'm very excited for this conceptually. Practically speaking, though, I'm doubtful I'll be able to use it as I abandoned high-end gaming rigs a long time ago.

Do you like having food to eat, and often do things that you don't necessarily love to make that happen?

So does Kobold Press, and everyone else who isn't independently wealthy.

Just look at Steam. I see no reason to believe that Steam is not Wizards (well Hasbros) greatest desire.

"Let us be the Steam platform for Online RPGs, everyone comes to us, everyone pays us a cut, and we dont even have to invest in an RPG anymore."

Understandable, but sadly it does seem a little, "Kneel before Zod!"

Love that they let you play other games and that it's 3d.

Honestly just want to build some fun city maps.

Optimus Prime? I am not too surprised to see miniatures from other Hasbro's franchises. Maybe because those titles by Renegade Game Studios will appear in the Sigil VTT... but some times seriously I suspect somebody reads me and "borrow" my ideas. I don't mind and even I feel a little happy if they liked my suggestions.

 

[Belen]

I am a bit worried at the potential costs but looks good.

The start your collection was a red flag.

It looks like you can freely upload 2d minis.
