[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9617142, member: 467"] The premature demise of Sigil VTT has me thinking about what i want in a VTT. I am curious what others want. Ignoring market realism (but maintaining technological realism), what does your dream VTT look like? What is it capable of? How do you engage with it? A couple caveats: The 100 or so of you clamoring to find a different way to say "play at a real table" or "nothing" or similar -- please don't. We get it: not everyone likes a VTT. Try and keep potential desired features within a reasonable time of introduction. VR headset virtual dinner table is okay, but Minority Report style AR probably not so much (despite the many promises made...). Anyway -- I use Fantasy Grounds Unity for the most part. I am generally happy with it, but a) I would like to be able to run it through a browser so players did not have to install anything, b) I wish it was easier to build your own rules or even house rules without coding, and c) I wish it was equally useful for tabletop war/miniatuire games as RPGs. My big wish is for a super easy dry erase style drawing tool that lets me really run VTT games the same way I run in person games.
