Initially the artists etc. will playing catch-up with what's already in D&D.But this is a company that wants to make money, and you can bet that, long before the artists are done catching up, WotC will have them creating new stuff specifically because it's awesome-looking and will sell, even though maybe it's not a good fit for existing D&D or whatever. As soon as WotC starts seeing what sells and what doesn't we can expect the resources to start getting refocused.I mean, if they have like just simple tokens I can put a few letters/numbers on and maybe a colour (like I use on the tabletop, to hell with minis, they cost money and space), I won't be too worried, but there's little incentive for them to support that kind of thing well, to be honest.The idea that any other VTTs will meaningfully be able to compete with the offering WotC are suggesting they'll have is laughable.Sure, a locked-in, ageing user like yourself may well decide to stick with Foundry, but anyone less locked-in is likely to move, if WotC's VTT does what they're saying it will. They will have a de facto monopoly.Of course that's a big if. But if they really have 350 people on it? They'll manage it by 2025 if not 2024.</blockquote>
