[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8857534, member: 22779"] Oh I get that. My point was that it has been standard that things that work on one VTT never work on another - other than base image files I suppose. If you go through the whole process of doing lighting and line of sight stuff for one VTT, that's can't be exported to another vtt. So, it's not like WotC making their VTT stuff not portable to other VTT's is anything different. Again, I can't play my PS5 games on my Xbox, even if it's the same title. That's the point I was responding to. The idea that it's somehow strange that if you purchase Xanathar's on Fantasy Grounds, it's not accessible through Roll20 or DDB. While it would be great if they did something like you are talking about - making stuff available on different platforms I imagine there would be some pretty serious technical issues involved. Unlike movies which will play on anything (excepting region locking) and a streamed movie on any platform is still just an mpeg file, every VTT uses a different set up that isn't compatible. [/QUOTE]
