[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8977237, member: 6796661"] If they support the RAW for 5e/OneDnD well, have a good GUI, with a low learning curve, and is responsive on a decently modern PC, they will bring the masses. Most of the existing VTTs just are not great for the average D&D player. I love Foundry, but it is intimidating with a high learning curve and its support for D&D is disappointing out of the box. Once you get into community mods to make it do what you want, it becomes a hobby onto itself. The "masses" are not going to run to Foundry. I have hard-core gamer players who work in highly technical IT jobs that just didn't want to deal with Foundry for DMing their own games. Fantasy Grounds also has a very high learning curve for DMs. Great support and community but it places more work on the shoulder of the DM. I don't see it winning over the "masses". Roll20 is probably the most successful at attracting the "masses" but it still fall short on its support of DnD Mechanics. I think the WotC VTT is likely to going to quickly become the most-used VTT just because the masses of 5e/OneDnD players will move it. [/QUOTE]
