Message: <blockquote data-quote="OnlineDM" data-source="post: 5671023" data-attributes="member: 90804">I run 4e games in MapTool, so I was intrigued when the Virtual Table came out. I played with the beta a little bit in its earliest days (before the monster and PC import functionality existed) and was unimpressed, though I understood it was a beta. Being able to automatically import monsters and PCs would be wonderful, but would require a flexible monster builder that allowed for home-brew monsters.Also, the actual mapping capabilities were non-existent at the time. A good VTT obviously needs to let you import your own map images and token images. I don't believe those functions exist yet in the VT, though I haven't checked it in a while.If it eventually gets all of those functions, I could see it being more attractive than MapTool for pick-up games at the very least. But since I use MapTool on a projector to run games in person (as well as its usual online function), I'd probably have to stick with that (unless the VT got a good projector mode).I'm with you - I don't know why WotC didn't just use MapTool and integrate it with their DDI tools. Of course, I'm not a programmer, so I don't know how feasible that would have been.</blockquote>
