[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8173520, member: 4534"] I've had some difficulty using Tabletop Simulator for my games. I only paid $20 for it and it's absolutely amazing that I rely on some people people to create content for it at no cost to me so I can use it for D&D. But in addition to my regular DMing duties, I've had to comb through assets (maps, figures, furniture, objects, etc., etc.) for TS to find what I want to use for the game adding a significant amount of prep work for me to complete. In some ways I'm a little surprised that TTRPGs don't make more use of technological developments after the last fifty years. Twenty-one years ago, I expected we'd have adventures making use of MP3s. Imagine being able to playback an automated distress signal or a Call of Cthulhu scenario where the Investigators get a hold of a Dictaphone wax cylinder recording with some clues. But such a thing never materialized for some reason. (Perhaps because it would be expensive to hire actors. Even bad actors.) [/QUOTE]
