[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8188873, member: 7006"] Perhaps (although they did say the easiest to pick up). But Owlbear Rodeo gives them almost exactly their current set-up without needing to have multiple cameras running at the same time, all for free, and no additional time for the players spent learning anything. [USER=6888829]@Yenrak[/USER] said they have everyone on Zoom and that they point their camera(s) at a map when needed, presumably on a Shared Screen. Owlbear Rodeo is exactly the same set-up, other than you don't need to point your camera at a map, the map is already onscreen for everyone. But the whole process is the same... everyone is on Zoom in one Window, and Owlbear Rodeo is open in your browser in a second Window (allowing a player to have both the Zoom and Owlbear split screened and thus a person can see everyone and everything at the same time.) The DM has all the maps pre-loaded and pre-programmed (with any and all PC and monster tokens placed and fog-of-war set up)... and when the current map is loaded onscreen, every player logged into Owlbear can see the revealed portions of the map and move their own tokens across it So the effect for the entire group is almost exactly the same as what they are currently using-- all free of charge, with no need to learn anything (except for the DM who needs to take like 15 minutes at some point to fiddle with the token generation and how to cover and reveal fog of war.) Now yes... if the OP want a full-service system that includes all the things... monster stats programmed in, purchaseable adventures with all information (like maps, tokens, NPCs, stats etc.) already installed... Roll 20 or Fantasy Grounds would work. But if all they need is just an online map table that players can move their tokens on... Owlbear is a really simple and easy choice. [/QUOTE]
