Agree with the video, but I'd still like to make a case for VTTs in general, not the D&Done virtual abomination coming our way.

I use Foundry VTT and it offers a completely customizable experience with no microtransactions. Most modules are free and let you set up a game the way you want to, either with just a flat, hand-drawn map with a couple of tokens, or a fully interactive map with lighting, interactive doors and dynamic lighting. Also, you buy the program once and you're done. No subscriptions.

Obviously playing IRL is always better, but the fact is that (at least from my recent experience) it's harder and harder to schedule an IRL session. VTTs thus provide a way to play, but only those that still treat the game as a TTRPG and NOT a video game.

Reminder that they tried the same VTT business model for 4e, and their level of software competence as a business was so low that the death of a single software engineer via an infidelity-induced murder-suicide prevented the product from reaching the public.

[insight] So it will fail like 4E?

On tonight's episode of Wizard's self destruction, they admit everything gets multiple sensitivity readers, even reprints, and that half-elves and half-orcs are banned from future products and official events because the concept "is inherently racist".

The only RPG race popularity poll I've seen with a relevant sample size and results collection methodology says Half-Elf is actually the second most popular race, behind human, and leads the third (Elf) by a significant gap. May be influenced by it being PF1 based, where Half-elves are genuinely useful for lots of stuff and elves are only good for a small number of classes.

"Basically, we're very happy with the game the way it is today, we just want to build on that"

Woah, looks like somebody learned something from the 4th edition PR disaster.
