[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9267563, member: 725"] Foundry VTT has a certain technical hurdle (that something like The Forge fixes partly) that can be pretty high to setup and maintain. If you're not technically inclined and no one in your group is ready and able or willing to pickup that responsibility, don't use Foundry VTT! It would be like giving something like MS Access to make a simple table... BUT... FVTT can be used [I]very well [/I]with low-prep IF you've set up the right tools previously. If by low-prep you mean also setting up FVTT, then NO, this are not the VTT you're looking for! ;) But if you've set it up already (with the right tools) you can do ad-hoc very well! Something like Dungeondraw, Moulinette (Tiles) with the free assets from Forgotten Adventures you can get very far. And that is just basically installing a couple of modules and downloading and copying ~11GB worth of assets. That's basically how we've currently been playing. You can get even more fancy with the Baileywiki modules (requires a Patreon subscription), who have a huge collection of premade tiles (based on the FA assets) that pretty much function like RL cardboard tiles.
