[QUOTE="Variss, post: 7705727, member: 76149"] Leveraging that assessment on the Roll20 metrics, rather than on the sales of the game (preferably from a distributor point of view for accuracy) may indicate a failing of the medium, not the game. FFG's take on Star Wars requires a mechanic that is not easily implemented on Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds. The traditional contested rolls of most systems is replaced with a varying single dice formula with significant ability for both player and GM to alter the die roll before it is executed. Even with the publicly available FFG dice scripts, and the necessary paid subscription levels to Roll20 to support it, the nuance that can be done at the table (destiny flips, abilities adding or removing hindrance, player-to-player advantage adjustments, etc.) is difficult to do well. It has always seemed to me, with significant GM running of the FFG system, that it is best served face-to-face. [/QUOTE]
