[QUOTE="ninjayeti, post: 9138268, member: 6789120"] FG is my favorite. It has a ton of functionality and supports a number of systems. The down side is that there is a pretty steep learning curve starting out - if you can get over that curve it is great, but lots of people who try to pick it up on their own never do. Also the licenses are available for one time purchase (often on sale) which I like better than the subscription model of Roll20. Roll20 is the McDonalds of VTTs. Its widely used, it works fine, but I don't know anyone who loves it. It is freemium, so you can get started at no cost, but if your GM wants to unlock the major features they need to pay an ongoing subscription. Foundry is great for PF2 as pretty much all of the rules are available for free on the platform. It is community supported, which means it has wide support, but I have heard that lots of the modules and game systems can be buggy. It is also self hosted, which means that you need to configure your router for others to join you game, or pay extra for an outside hosting service (otherwise it is a one time purchase). Not a big deal for people who are tech savvy, but an extra barrier to get up and running if you are not. There are lots of modules, so if you want to spend a lot of time playing around with them you can customize your set up to run exactly the way you want. Owlbear Rodeo is by far the easiest to get up and running. If you just want a bare bones map and token tool this should be your first choice. The newest version supports lots of customizable extensions so you can add more functionality, although I still don't think it compares to other platforms in terms of bells and whistles. It is freemium, and I think most users would be fine with just the free version. [/QUOTE]
