And I don’t use VTTs. I have, but I like a tactile experience more than VTT (and i acknowledge that VTT automation has several very good additions like initiative and lighting). But, as a dummy, here’s what I think I want out of a nextgen vtt. Something like final fantasy tactics / augmented reality. Perhaps you buy a map with a QR code or something that you drop on your table, and you look through your tablet at it and it’s 3D-ish and populated by controllable characters you can move around via a touch-menu system. Spells and attacks with damage values and ranges can be automated but some stuff still needs to be dm-adjudication, so we need dice (virtual and actual). And between encounters, the VTT should flip to the comms system (like a round table zoom conference that displays the speaker and the character’s profile picture maybe?). I think you’d make some money by selling the maps individually. They’d be 2d on the table and 3D-ish in the AR with the lighting and stuff. All the stuff from the basic rules should be included with the system with options to buy other stuff as micro transactions or bundles. And the thing would / could work with people in your game room and your cousin across the country too. And maybe we already have all that and I’m just not paying attention! Like I said. I’m a dummy on this subject. I just don’t want to sit at a computer and play d&d on VOIP with a view I don’t really control. So if we can put a pikachu on my dining room table via AR, why not a dragon? And if we can put a dragon, why not a dungeon?</blockquote>
