[QUOTE="Xorne, post: 5281011, member: 61194"] I haven't used MapTools to play or run a game; over a year ago I set it up and played around with the map/token manipulation, and it seemed pretty cool. But what makes FG2 awesome for me? - 3D animated dice - ruleset specific character sheet for many systems - DM Story/Map/Image/Encounter/NPC/Item Database - Easy exporting to make the above adventure database modular - Fantastic community support - 3D animated dice (they deserve two mentions) Now I don't [i]know[/i] how well MapTools or any other VTT can do these things. I do know that I haven't really bothered to check, as I feel FG2 does these very, very well. When we bought our Full+Lite package for our gaming group of 7, I think it was $13 each in the end with the discount. I've spent $13 on a Hardee's value meal before. :blush: I enjoy FG2 so much I made four tutorial videos to help new players get up and running (with a 4E D&D bias as that's what I play these days).
