[QUOTE="Nilbog, post: 8055726, member: 98183"] Hi all So I'm not totally new to the world's of VTTs, however I'm looking for people's opinions on which might best suit me. Prior to the CV-19 lockdown our face to face game of which I am DM is a pathfinder 2e campaign and we used the setup of using a horizontal TV to display battlemaps on, which physical miniatures were placed on top of. This was done via me using an iPad pro running a DM instance of roll20 and a laptop hooked up to the TV running a player instance, and by the by it worked. When the lockdown hit, we like many others moved online and because of the lack of roll20 support for pf2e I started a new 5e campaign using the same roll20 account, and again this has been fine. Now, I'm doing some forward planning for my face to face game, and although I don't anticipate it happening anytime soon, I'd like to be ready for when it does. The problem is I'm only a basic subscriber to roll20 and I'm hitting hard limits about what I can upload. So before I shell out for the premium account, I was wondering if there are any more suitable options out there for my setup so: [LIST] [*]Must work on both iPad and pc, so likely browser based [*]Ease of map creation (including the ability to import graphic files) is the priority, I'd like something fairly, flexible, intuitive and preferably once the basics have been mastered quite powerful. Animated elements would be a really big bonus [*]Dynamic lighting isn't that important as we don't use tokens, but I would like fog of war [*]Ruleset integration not needed, it won't be used for anything other than showing battlemaps, all character sheets etc will be outside the software [*]Would only need a DM and one player license [*]Touchscreen friendly, because I DM on the iPad I'd like it to play well with the iOS touchscreen, something I've found a bit fiddly with roll20 [/LIST] So it maybe upgrading roll20 is the best option, but I'd be happy to know if there is anything out there that would fit my needs better.
