[QUOTE="Moorcrys, post: 5674349, member: 7814"] They only thing that's kept me from starting up a game on their beta is the lack of dungeon tiles they have implemented. They only have some 'dungeon' dungeon tiles available so any non-'dungeony' environs look like absolute crap... the way I draw they do anyway. The only way to have wilderness or city locales at the moment is to draw them using the crude mapping drawer. If they made other tilesets available I'd use them - I'd even pay a few bucks to add some to the VTT. If I want to present some kind if non-map art I'd use photobucket or something. They have so many maps and so much art lying around I can't imagine that at some point they won't make it available within the VTT - those are the things that I think will make it the 'go-to' online tabletop of 4e players and generate revenue for them. I like the interface - it's pretty intuitive to me and I picked it up quickly and the games ran smoothly. The import features are fine. Didn't have any voice trouble. Aside from the limited tileset availability, the only major issues I have with it are larger issues that have little to do with the VTT and everything to do with the CB and MB - the fact that you can't customize ANYTHING. No tweaked monsters to import, you can't even give a character an added feat that imports into the VTT, let alone rename a monster or add a deity name from your home campaign. I still find it very annoying that the tools they present don't allow you to even stray one inch from the database-entered material ... even just being able to rename something so that it doesn't grate against your own campaign world or game would be a step in the right direction. At least you can cross that stuff out on a character sheet and write in what you need. You can't do that on the VTT. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
