[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8850295, member: 20741"] FWIW, I have done all of my gaming via VTT since 2011. Initially, it was on D20 Pro. I did flirt with Fantasy Grounds 1 and 2 as well. I have played via Roll20, but won't use it to GM (it's too limited for my tastes). Combine technical limitations with higher cost? Not for me. In terms of Foundry VTT, I've used it for both PF1, PF2, Starfinder as well as 5e. The PF2 core rules system (being based on the OGL) means Foundry VTT is better for PF2 than it is for 5e, but with Mr. Primate's plug-in for DDB importer, together with Automated Animations + Jules and Ben's Patreon animations - my own sound effects - and Midi-QOL turned up to max?

With some sharp overhead tokens and using a high quality map (I prefer Heroic Maps whenever possible) the visual fidelity and ease of use for 5e in Foundry VTT is exceptional. It's my main hobby and I have no difficulty in paying for stuff that works and is fun to use.
