[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8716296, member: 7026617"] By the standard of the hobby I'm old as hell. I'm more properly the age category you find in full blown Old School (as compared to OSR) proponents. That said, I'm probably much more technophilic than many my age, and I find using a VTT in its original meaning both comfortable (in general) and useful. What I don't do, is need some of the things most commercial VTTs do; to whit, managing mechanics. At most I want a die roller if I feel a need to monitor dice rolls, but it doesn't need to do all the bookkeeping for me. All I need is a way to manage maps and positioning that everyone can see as (or, as got me started with it) or more easily than doing it in physical form. Its one of the reason when people talk about not being able to run Game X with VTT Y because they'd have to do too much set-up and programming, I tend to give them the side-eye. That's only true if you expect the VTT to do the mechanical lifting in the first place. [/QUOTE]
