[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 8859187, member: 20741"] My comments were directed at 5e DMs, not at GMs of other RPG systems (though there are many of them well supported on FVTT ,too, as you know). I find most of that not to be reasons, so much as [B][I]excuses[/I][/B]. They don't want to do it because of what amounts to inertia. They have not seen what's possible and how it plays, so they can't be bothered. 95%? I think it really comes down to that. There are some port forwarding issues which happen on older routers -- and more particularly -- among ISP users located in the East and Mid-West of the USA where this issue arises (it seems confined largely to the East Coast of the USA). It's a Comcast issue I believe. I understand those people's aggravation completely. That's a separate issue. I'd be pretty pissed off about it, too. But to be clear, that's not a problem with Foundry, that's a problem with somebody's ISP. Still, if you have got to that point in your install of Foundry VTT where that's the cock-block? I get it. By that point though, they have bought it and have installed it. They are pretty much committed at that stage -- so going ASW or The Forge is just another final hoop to jump through. As for Roll20 after Foundry? I never used Roll20 to GM, though I did look at it and decided it was too basic for me -- and in terms of the quality/expense, the bang for the buck was just too low. I came to Foundry from D20Pro. I do play in one game on Roll20 though -- and I hate it. It's old. slow, looks ugly and ... yeah. Yuck. I can't understand why somebody would continue to use it when there are clearly better options for not much money at all. For those who insist on limiting cost at every turn in terms of their RPG gaming? That's not somebody I will end up playing with if they are the GM for a number of reasons. As players, I cover the cost of Foundry and host my own server. I pay for a DDB subscription for 5e books and otherwise, with PF2, the rules are available online for free if that is an issue.
