I had been running D&D in Foundry for about 5 years. I was originally planning on running DCC Dying Earth, but there are no VTTs that have a DCC system with the new Dying Earth rules and tables. I hate having to look up roll-tables on paper, especially when we are not all sitting around a table in person and I didn't want to spend a bunch of time doing data entry and coding to probably only have the system half-baked in Foundry. I was about to just run D&D again using only D&D Beyond with the new Maps feature, but then I looked at Warhammer Fantasy 4e and got hit with nostalgia (I ran WFRP games back in the late 80s). Then I saw that Cubicle7 had a game system plus most of their content available for Foundry.  I bought the game system and core rule book for Foundry and was very impressed.  I was burned out on wrangling with Foundry to run D&D in it and was just tired of testing mods and constantly tweaking and never having thing work how I wanted. Having an officially supported game system that actually worked very well, that had a lot of thought put into it, with lots of helpful features was a breath of fresh air and made me enjoy Foundry again when I was ready to put it on ice. When approaching a game I want to run, I don't start with the VTT.  I start with the game I want to run. I'll use the VTT that has the best support for that game. It will likely be one or two years before I run D&D again. If I like the 2024 rules and if the WotC VTT is out and works the way I want it, I'll happily put Foundry on ice and use the WotC VTT.  If I don't like the WotC VTT, I'll compare Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, and Foundry. I have more faith in the Fantasy Ground team to get the automations right than Foundry. With all the recent Roll20 news, I'll be keeping my eye on it as well. I've just never enjoy running crunchier games in Roll20, though I really like it as a player. But I'm picky. If the implementation is clunky in all the VTTs, I'll just run my game in DDB with its Maps feature.</blockquote>
