I only got access to it about a month ago and the forum activity there is pretty dead. From what I gather, there hasn't been much activity on WotC's end either lately.If you have had a play with it I'd like to hear what you think of it?Personally I'm not impressed. It's a pale, PALE, imitation of what's already out there and offers virtually no incentive to use it over any other VT. The sole saving grace of it is that you can import from the monster builder and character builder. Other than that, it's incredibly clunky, very limited, poorly laid out and implemented and slow.Sure, it's a beta, but so is Maptools and it absolutely wipes the floor with the DDI VT. What's more, it's nothing like the previews we saw way back at the introduction of 4e. That project was scrapped and a new VT team started from scratch. All they've done, however, is reinvent the wheel as an octahedron.I think they would've been better served just offering an open license to people like the Fantasy Grounds and Maptools folk.</blockquote>
