[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8666789, member: 86653"] No, it's not bad per se. But I'm a minimalist. I use Roll20 because it's free and color code and hand draw on the maps to represent the terrain. Anything more than that is too time consuming to be worth the effort. To me. All my gaming since the pandemic has been online. About the same for me. So why go with new software when at least two already exist? Especially considering the company putting out this new one is two people and hasn't done anything yet? Use Roll20 and don't use dynamic lighting. It's free. You can freehand it in Roll20 and spend less time on the peripherals. What an absolute nightmare. Why would you bother with that? Sounds like a waste of time for a 2-second "ooh" from the players. If that. Only if you insist on spending gobs of time on that stuff already. Don't spend gobs of time on that stuff. There. Save you a bunch of time. I'll take drivethrurpg gift cards. So skip it if you forget it. You could set scene DCs. Just set a marker at the DC you want to use and anything the PCs want to do is rolled against that. AC? Scene DC. Guard's perception check? Scene DC. Lock difficulty? Scene DC. Detect traps? Scene DC. Disarm traps? Scene DC. All of it. Most on-level hits deal about 1/4 of the PC's max hit points. 4th level fighter? 1d10 damage. Done. Not the poster you asked. But it's been said a few times in the thread. This is an unknown company with two whole people who've never produced a thing so far and they're proposing they'll be able to do something like this. Red flags. [/QUOTE]
