[QUOTE="Eyes of Nine, post: 9276677, member: 99786"] That's not what I'm saying I'm saying for any platform, whether it's a VTT or an automobile there are some features that are required that make that "thing" the "thing". Like in the case of a car: wheels, brakes, or a steering wheel (although early automobiles didn't even have those). Or in the case of a VTT: a map, tokens, and a way to do fog of war. I mean, sure that's "copying" in a literal sense of the word; but until you get that baseline stuff built, you can't start to build out differentiators. I think the VTT feature comparison with DDB vs R20 is a bit too early, since DDB is still building the early standard platform stuff. That's explicitly what an Alpha is for. Which might be what you meant by your post, and I did not read the tone correctly. I thought you were being snarky that DDB's VTT wasn't very innovative because it was [B]merely[/B] "...adding features that are already standard..." So I was defending DDB for now because they are in the early stages. What I'll be curious to hear about is what differentiating features they decide to prioritize first to separate themselves from other VTTs already established like R20 and Foundry [/QUOTE]
