[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9575079, member: 6796468"] That is also true. There's tons of games out there played over the internet without a VTT. Sometimes that's because it's a less map-intensive game, as you noted, and sometimes it's because an extra webcam is SO cheap and works with your battlemap and minis.
