[QUOTE="heruca, post: 5151750, member: 39068"] In my experience, RPG players tend to absolutely [b]hate[/b] subscription-based offerings, unless WotC is behind it. Three dollars a month doesn't sound like much, but it adds up. In just one year, a subscriber to SG would already have spent more than the purchase price of just about any commercial VT (exception: the full version of Fantasy Grounds costs $40). Player clients for most commercial VTs are usually priced around $15-$20, which equates to a mere 5-6 months of an SG subscription. That's a valid concern. Until you signed up on these forums to mention SG, I hadn't heard of SG either, and I'm a person who is always on the lookout for new VTs, since I maintain [url=http://www.battlegroundsgames.com/links.html#anchor6]a comprehensive list of virtual tabletop software for RPGs[/url]. Thanks to the link you provided, I've added Scene Grinder to the list. I tried Googling for more info on SG, but it appears that the developers have not actively advertised/marketed this endeavor in any way. Which makes me wonder if this is ready to use or if it's still in development. Since your posts here have probably been directly and indirectly responsible for most of the hits on their website, perhaps you could ask the developers for a free 1-month subscription, so that you can evaluate SG and make an informed comparison with the other VTs (which all have free demos available).
