And no other VTT has had this level of investment or branding directly attached to it. It’s likely to be the biggest ever once it launches. You should be expecting that whatever Sigil does will set expectations for all the others, not the other way around.Re: Monopoly. I should have been a bit more specific—I didn’t mean WotC monopolizes this hobby, but as creators of this platform they will definitely have monopoly control over it. Even when they allow other companies to use and sell on this platform, it’ll still be entirely their prerogative how to operate it (within scope of whatever contract agreements they sign).My whole point is just that all of this is under WotC’s direct control and it’s still impossible to know what their final business strategy will be with this tool. We won’t know until it’s been in full release for a while. Presently, it’s approaching a large-scale beta testing launch, which is as much as sales pitch phase as it is a development phase. Everything we’re seeing and being told is meant to make this project look as good as possible right now. That’s fine, but folks should temper their expectations too.</blockquote>
