[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7780163, member: 22779"] I guess my point is, generally speaking, I think people buy the meat space books as well. IOW, I think a lot of folks double dip, which makes the sunk cost a lot more. But, yeah, with the 2e and DCC rules coming online, one would think that we'll see some movement in those directions as well. It's the automation, more than the price that I was thinking was keeping folks playing 5e. I'm probably a lot less likely to play, I dunno, Mouseguard (picking a random example) on Fantasy Grounds simply because the amount of work getting it up and running even before I can actually start playing is more than I'm willing to sink in. Totally could just be me of course. On other VTT's, the community tends to come up with frameworks for a lot of different properties and on Maptool, those frameworks were free. It made me a lot more willing to try out other games where I could buy the meatspace game, log onto Maptools and get right to it. Just to be clear though, this is 100% gut feeling speculation on my part. I am certainly not privy to any insider information and I can be totally wrong. Probably just projecting my own preferences.
