[QUOTE="MoFest, post: 8712088, member: 7036255"] I preferred Foundry to Roll20 because while I played D&D in the '80s, didn't start playing on VTT til late. When I started DMing again, I didn't want to have to re-purchase sourcebooks in Roll20 since I'd already had them in D&DBeyond and found it easier to convert scenes, journals, etc into Foundry. I found Roll20 cumbersome as DM and Player. Back to WotBS, not as simple... I'm more accustomed to Foundry but all the VTT sources are for Roll20. But since I've pretty much bought every DnD X.X version of WotBS digital formats and discovered the roll20 availability after the fact I'm already invested. The reason I bought WotBS was for the story, I was writing a similar campaign (intrigue, epic) which actually had elements of Zeitgeist too... this story had the elements I wanted and what I want to run as DM. Maps are so-so, but I can work with them (or replace them), it still has DnD bones so I can pull creatures and beings over. The biggest problem is all the NPCs. I think I can run it a few times to make it worth my time. Wanted a good non-WotC story to run, which I didn't have to write and test, and I found it. (I'm sure you've figured out, somewhere I went from answering you to justifying it to myself). I do like crafting modules, not necessarily in Herculean cosplay. [/QUOTE]
