[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 3693047, member: 22779"] On a side note, I'm very, very curious what the DI will have in store for VTT play. /edit to add another side note. I will never, ever pay for a VTT program. And here's why: I almost always DM and I have for years. Yet every pay VTT program out there makes you pay extra to get the "DM Version" of the program. What the heck?!?! If I'm DMing, that means I've got at least one other player, and probably four or five. That means for every DM client they sell, they also sell four or five player clients as well. Why am I being forced to pay extra for the privilege of selling more products for the developing company? Why are two versions being offered at all? Why not simply sell the full version to everyone and be done with it instead of screwing over GM's who are probably going to guarantee revenue for the company in the first place? It annoys me to no end that just because I'm DMing, I'm being forced to pay extra for the privilege of running my game over Fantasy Grounds or whatever pay VTT program we happen to use. Sorry, I'll stick to OpenRPG which is free, open source and works very, very well. [/QUOTE]
