[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 2837064, member: 10638"] Here's what I think I'd find important when looking at a product: 1. Ease of learning the system for the DM and players. You shouldn't have to know ANYTHING technical to use a program. You should just be able to fill in the blanks and click. 2. Absolute compatability with 3.5 3. Room for a couple of house rules, supplemental classes, feats 4. Faster combats than tabletop 5. Communications with players and NPC's should either show the players' face or a picture of their PC when they speak so that you know who's talking without guessing. 6. Ability to place "2D" elements that mark 3-D things (either automatic or DM-input) to keep combats from being boring toe to toe "movehere-movethere" combats. I'm not talking 3D graphics, just the "markers" for them. 7. Large visual area for the action. I really like the idea of a Tabletop-Online rather than something mindlessly arcade like DDO or horribly time-consuming like NWN (there are times I want to be mindless..don't get me wrong ;). I still want to be the DM and be able to upload a map and a game quickly and go. Tweaks should be a capable afterwards, not the standard. How do Fantasy Grounds and Klooge do that well? Where can they improve? jh .. [/QUOTE]
