[QUOTE="OB1, post: 9606467, member: 6796241"] [USER=7035894]@Clint_L[/USER] a few others have mentioned it, but Sigil will be available on Mac, probably sooner rather than later. It's pretty straightforward to port U5 from Windows to Mac, but it typically isn't done until you have a near final project, as every update you make after that has to be done twice (or multiple times once it goes to mobile, Playstation, etc). Think of the BG3 testing period, which was also Windows only, but once it officially released, the game hit PS5 and Mac just a month later. As primarily a Mac user myself, I was able to test an Alpha version a few months ago on my work Windows laptop (with no real graphics card) and found Sigil to be much easier to use and user friendly than I expected. Yes it had some rough edges, but I could really see the potential, especially in the map builder, which had a feeling of somewhere between Minecraft and Fallout 4. Even as my laptop struggled to render what was on screen, I could still feel the appeal of a playground where creative people will be able to create whole worlds out of the tools being provided. I suspect there will be quite a few people who's primary experience with Sigil will be as builders, rather than players of D&D. I also suspect that when it's fully functional, it will make onboarding new people into D&D exceedingly easy. Imagine when, as someone who wants to play D&D but doesn't know anyone who does, you can log on with your playstation, find a group in minutes, and start playing. Unlike [USER=18]@Ruin Explorer[/USER] I have zero concerns about the way WotC has chosen to release the product. It's meant for early adopters and super fans at the moment. Once they have it in the final form will be when they start a massive marketing push for it, and what they system is then will determine it's success or failure. [/QUOTE]
