D&D General Do you want a 3D vtt?

[Lanefan]

It's a cool idea but I'm only interested if they throw in (for free!) the tech I'd need to run it; given that right now I can barely use roll20. Otherwise, a non-starter.

 

[Aldarc]

I think WotC is making a mistake building one.

But just think of the microtransactions for customizing your PCs' cosmetics!

I cant knock it until I rock it.

 

[schneeland]

Definitely not for me. Too fine-grained maps and too much automation already push play into the "video gamey" territory for me. I'd take (and would pay for) nice black&white maps and tokens for my 2D VTT, though.

 

[Incenjucar]

A good one, yes. I've had to do some ridiculous stuff for 3D combat in the past, so I'd prefer a tool to do it for me. The tokens and terrain can be mostly 2D still, but elevation matters.

 

[Mecheon]

I want a new Neverwinter Nights

I def see a market for a 3D VTT, but, eh. its again a "You'll have to impress me with it" type of situation because at its heart, its going to be a simple thing.

 

[Deset Gled]

I want my VTT to be as simple as possible. I never want technology to be a hurdle in bringing people into D&D. 2D VTTs keep things as simple as possible. Browser based. Very low computer requirements. 3D starts making things complicated much faster, which leads to a steeper learning curve and more technology requirements.

I've got30.7gigs of assets in my vtt & run games in person with a touch enabled tvbox & players barely look at the screen outside of positioning in combat. The idea of a 3d vtt is not in itself a thing I dislike but it would need to be a big improvement for me as a GM & I have a hard time seeing how 3d could help.

 

[DarkCrisis]

IF I had to play online. Otherwise I prefer at a table with minis and a map.

 

[Incenjucar]

I'd especially love to see one that is designed to integrate with streaming platforms. Lean in to that whole ecosystem.
