We tried playing DnD using it.
- the number of objects drastically affects input lag. So easy with card placeholders and mods to get into a horrible performance zone where even throwing a dice is lagy.
- It isn't super comfortable
- Not as good as roll20.com even with roll20's limited features, the effort required is 20x lower.
- So easy to get into weird physics interactions. How many times did we try to move a piece, be 1px off, and half the board goes flying.
- very space limited. there's no comfortable place to set up your stuff, just a tiny spot on the side of your player. Very limiting.
Overall I understand why most these problems are not easily solvable, but it isn't a great experience. Good for simple board games, not good for something really complex.
- WilTimSon 6y agoI found Roll20 to be quite good, all things considered. Few online spaces will readily replace the actual tabletop experience but it was fun and convenient for a few games. Perhaps now that we've all experienced isolation from the world, someone will rise to the task to make a better version.
- secabeen 6y agoRoll20 is great, but I'm really enjoying the community of mods and developers around FoundryVTT.
