The indexing and filtering is absurdly useful, as is the fact I can hover over the name of a spell when reading an item or monster with that spell, and it pops up a description of the spell. And it's extremely easy to use both for finding things and for *creating homebrew*. Like, homebrewing has practically no learning curve. Within an hour of phase 2-3 posting, I had made a half dozen spells, more monsters, and a handful of items, all with full indexing metadata. That metadata is what makes DDB, for me. Roll20, FG, and the 4e vtt beta thing. The 4e vtt is the only one I found easy enough to learn to be remotely worthwhile. Oh! And there is one I can't remember the name of that is like 2d isometric? I used that a bit, but by then I was instead using voice or video chat for online play. Heck, I had a group that used to play 4e via the party voice chat in Dungeons and Dragons Online. we would gather in a tavern in game and roll dice in the party chat window and everything else was by voice. My preference has become to put a camera on the table, in something like google hangouts.</blockquote>
