[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5883890, member: 8835"] bear in mind, I'm not against having it hold charsheet info either. But I run a development team, and I know how to spot what's really important and what's can be left for the next release. Not everybody is going to agree with me, but then, people don't agree with what Apple does either, but they make their bones knowing more about what customers need than most of the customers. I don't think we HAVE it yet. Most VTTs are cumbersome and they FAIL to deliver a unified communications experience. Everybody has a chat room and dice roller. Most have a battlemat. It sounds like only 2 very new projects have built in voice and video conferencing. I think voice and video conferencing are the big ticket items. Up until Google Hangouts, you could NOT get a free video conferencing suite that handled multi-way. Even voice was challenging to do (I think Skype can do multi-way voice). having played online D&D without my char sheet loaded, while I can appreciate the benefits, thats not a requirement for me. It's an advanced feature for SOME players who are saavy enough to use it. [/QUOTE]
