[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9277763, member: 467"] Fantasy Grounds illustrates the worst feature of the current VTT climate: you can't take it with you. That is,there is no way to purchase "the VTT implementation" of a particular book. You have to purchase the SPECIFIC VTT implementation. That, I think, is the problem.Maps is trying to solve and why I think Maps is going to ultimately aim for the industry standard. They want folks to buy Beyond books knowing they don't have to ever buy them again for another VTT. The 3D project is a different animal with different goals, aimed at the subset of gamers for whom 3D and even 1st person "TTRPG" play is desirable enough to dump a stupid amount of money into. Those people exist. We know they do. There is some overlap, but they are mostly a different cohort than those that "just want to play D&D online." I will reiterate because I think it is important: WotC is not going to half-ass Maps given the investment. It is goingvto be somewhere in the Roll20 capability zone, because if you are going to pkay D&D online, they want you to play D&D using Beyond, exclusively. [/QUOTE]
