not to steal your thunder You can just do your own Show HN.
Thanks, I've never used HN before and I was just told by multiple people to reply here. I don't know the culture so I'll read into that and look at making a post.
I've been using this site for a little over 3 years now and I was wondering the same thing about replying with my own VTT web app.
Pretty nicely done! Making the VTT easier to use is so much more important than hundreds of features…

Hey yeah, totally sensible question - wish I had a better answer. Unfortunately there isn't a great way to transfer an ongoing campaign. That's one of the main issues with getting folks to try out new virtual tabletops - there's some pretty established platforms already out there and there's a fair amount of lock in. Especially if you consider the assets a lot of DMs have purchased on those platforms, like you mentio…
There is a converter from Roll20 to FoundryVTT. I've used it with great success: https://github.com/kakaroto/R20Converter
Personally, I would market this and build it out for any other TTRPG system but Dungeons & Dragons. I absolutely love Dungeons & Dragons but I think the writing is on the wall that DnD Beyond is going to get the lion's share of all digital DnD spending, especially for newer players. There's always going to be holdouts who don't like the corporate direction, but the majority are going to use DnD Beyond because of how…
Yeah, you make a good point. Definitely something I've thought about. When I started working on Diceright, DnD Beyond hadn't even been acquired by Wizards yet, so a lot has changed in relatively short time. That being said, they recently released an alpha of their 2d tabletop and there really wasn't much there. I assume it will get a lot better though. Still, it was a tough call on what to focus on as DnD really is a…
A bit tangential, but I'm not sure I could ever play D&D on a VTT. I understand the allure of playing over the internet in general, because you can pick outlandish times and don't have to be geographically collocated. But for me, D&D is more than moving tokens around, it's primarily about the roleplay, about acting out a character and seeing someone's full facial, verbal, and non-verbal responses. If I want to push t…
If anyone's interested in following along as I keep building Diceright, I just set up a discord server: https://discord.gg/UpNn7yz6. I'll keep my roadmap updated there and would love to continue chatting with anyone who's interested

Basically every single tool available can support this, and so much much more. I wouldn’t suggest you change, but to suggest this method is in any way superior to actually learning the tools and how they work is ridiculous. And if a DM can’t spare the hour or so to reach parity with this method, that’s gonna be a long term problem for the table.
The cost, and setup time to use any of these tools has been far greater than loading up a image and sharing it. We've found no VTT tool that can do basic fog of war _without_ loading in a bunch of other features we simply don't need. Is it superior? I never said that, I said that the feature set was overkill. A long term problem? Like I said above, our game has been going for _4_ years. A big problem with these tools…
