Wizards of the Coast's bizarre fascination with flashy 3D graphics is a swing and a critical miss.

    As a DM, I tinker with 2d maps for hours to get them “just right.” I can’t imagine the amount of extra effort it’ll require to get 3d maps perfect.

      Just sounds like a headache, and you KNOW their tools are going to be clunky as shit

        Every time I see 3d VTT, I’m like why do you hate DMs so much?

          This is the only one that has looked fun to play around with to me, pretty excited for it to leave early access

            It looks great. I’m still afraid of more mapmaking work tho.

              I’m with you. Don’t get me wrong, I have a tv and use arkenforge for maps. But 2d is enough of a time sink (epically when the map is only one part of the whole session)…

      i’d you’re gonna do a 3d map, dungeon alchemist is the way to go. that’s what i’ve been using. it’s pretty versatile and gets frequent content updates. nice looking maps in 2 or 3 dimensions.
