[QUOTE="Soul Stigma, post: 7170110, member: 6887393"] It does, but my reply was to the missing core books. Whether automation is needed is up to the group. My group rolls real dice and have their own PHBs, so automation isn't a selling point for us. In that sense, Roll20 as a VTT does what it should, simulating our tabletop. It presents maps, tokens (minis for anyone new to VTTs) and can track the basics if you want. On the subscription level, Roll20 brings dynamic lighting and enforced line of sight for 4.99/month, which is a frankly awesome feature that I use to great effect, but again that's something that may or may not matter to the individual user. Fog of War is already there on the free level. I already noted in a previous comment that FG is the way to go if you want a fully automated/integrated experience, but it can really start to cost if you want those features to include all MM and Volo's creatures, etc. The deciding factor for most DMs and players is going to be $$$ at the end of the day. Ease of use can be another. All of that to say the superior VTT depends on what you want/need and what you can afford. Once you know those specifics, the answer becomes clear. [/QUOTE]
