"<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpI7J9vtbnw&t=299s" target="_blank">more minis. more options for character customization</a>"... What does that do for me as a GM?  I have tons of monster tokens & can do things like link a torch/sword/mace/shield image to them if I need to for some reason(spoiler: almost never).  Who is the primary target user of this VTT, GMs or players?That last bit is the big problem with the announcement teaser. & what the vtt has to offer gm's. Players aren't going to be buying /building TV boxes & tables or building dungeons week after week in it but it is mostly focused on appealing to players. The interface and ui I needs I have while being a gm are going to differ from while being a player but the gm is usually the one who makes the decision on which vtt to use.  What does 3d do for me as a gm and how much work does that save me or create for me?  The vtt might be too early in development to show that answer. That "too early but.." would be understandable if they at least mentioned what the 3d or this vtt expects to do for me as a gm in ways the announcement did not. The only "too early but" features it seems to mention are monitizing my players or selling me token image replacements that are in 3d.  Even using it for AL games I've never once had a player push back on me using a vtt at the table for map stuff in like five years because their workload is saying "here" while pointing or touching the screen. When an announcement seems so clearly mistarketed & hints at microtransactions its hard not to be skeptical of the benefits I'm expected to find on my own.</blockquote>
