[QUOTE="Justice and Rule, post: 8196336, member: 6778210"] Can't comment on this because my computer is fairly alright when it comes to hardware. So you can do this with Foundry, it just requires a little bit of forethought: if you leave home with the game running, you can access it as a GM from another computer. I've never had to upload assets from another computer so I'm not sure if that'd work (It might?), but you could do a lot of bookkeeping, wall-tracing, journal-writing, etc etc... Ehhh? I mean, you can run the game close to vanilla and get a pretty good experience. All the extra stuff does cool things (Multi-floor tokens, for example), but generally speaking I've not found this to be too problematic with the games I've run (5E, PF2, FFG Star Wars). The modules absolutely are and most rulesets are safe. I believe the only example I can think of getting taken down was Wrath & Glory, but it's up again. SWADE and WFRP 4E are both officially available at the moment. If you have an alright connection it works fine. If you don't, yeah, you might have more problems. For me, I've never needed a server and we use Discord for the video. [URL='https://foundryvtt.com/article/partnerships/']They do offer hosting services[/URL], and honestly if I had to choose I'd pay the $60 upfront and go with Foundry monthly if only because the GUI is so much damn better. It really is not. I came in from Roll20 and it's amazingly easy, especially with stuff like walls. Having an actual "door" function that you can lock and open with a click instead of the janky way you have to do with Roll20 (Or did it; it's been a while since I've been on there) is just so much easier. This is fair. I can't comment on the PDF Import function because I just don't use it, though I've heard other people swear by it. But Foundry is most rewarding when you are using the tricks to their greatest effect. The install base is certainly bigger, can't deny that. I do think that the tutorials on Foundry to get started generally aren't too bad, though definitely more focused on if you've never run anything before. Yeah, that sucks. I know there are modules which convert that stuff over, but I can't speak to them personally. That'd be interesting. I've seen it played at a few wargaming conventions. [/QUOTE]
