Evidently you are one who is used to being able to bully others on the internet. But to move on ... Storium is not a VTT "like Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds". |

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
For those who are interested, as an ultimate license holder, I can demo FG2 for any who would like to request it. I’m currently using FG2 to run a GURPS Cyberpunk campaign set in NIGHT CITY and a toned down CP2020 based game universe set in 2047. I’ve had to spend a fair amount of time learning to create “modules” storing data on buildings, and using some of the features inherent with FG2. I’m still a bit weak using the combat tracker, but am learning new tricks with it over time.
Simply download a free demo version of FG2, install it, and email me with a request for a walkthrough of FG2. Hal |

@Ghostdancer: What I really like about MapTool is that you can quickly drag and drop random image files into it and make them a map background, token or image for your players to look at without jumping through any hoops like in Roll20. I assume that's what you mean by flexibility? There's also a huge makro language, of course, which I don't use much, but I guess it can mean flexibility for those who have enough time to delve more deeply into it.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
An easier way to offer support is simply to provide VTT-ready maps from adventures as JPGs or PNGs, and tokens/minis for monsters. That's platform agnostic, future proof, and much more within SJGs existing skillset.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
I've been really happy with Tabletop Simulator as a VTT. It's literally a virtual tabletop. The physics simulation isn't terribly important to us (yes, you can turn off the ability to flip the table) other than Hand of Bobb loves the visceral "feel" of being able to roll dice. The ability to load PNGs/JPGs as boards or cards (and scale them on the fly), the ability to load OBJs as new models (sure, the 50k triangle limit is a pain to work around, but I'm getting better at it) and a large array of plugins and options (through the Steam Store) has made it a great choice.
Someone, with a better scripting clue than I have, could probably build some GURPS automation, but, I haven't seen the need for it yet. I'd eagerly buy an official GURPS automation plugin/DLC, but, as I said, I haven't seen a direct need for it, yet. Now, if we could just figure out why my rig doesn't work with Discord, we'd be golden . . .. |

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
I've been using Fantasy Grounds to run GURPS for about a month now, and aside from a few quality of life aspects that are in the works - drag and drop for abilities is what I'm waiting for primarily, and hex grids get... wonky on large maps - but otherwise it works quite well.
Currently running an AtE game there, and the fight against a killigator while swimming in the flooded generator room of a hydroelectric dam with only a flashlight for light was... amusing.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
For what it’s worth, my latest 5e product does a lot of this. Includes a large map pack, and in a couple of days I will release a set of grid overlays for 5’ grids, 5’ hex, and 3’ hex. That’s a template for VTTs with auto-grid features, or the only grid for printouts or if you like grids.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
Because Fanatics Grounds currently is only MAC compatible through WINE and by all accounts isn’t as great for Twitch streaming, I hope that GURPS will also get Roll20 support...but I fear their support will be FG only. Rumor has it that FG Unity will have Mac native support, but I have no idea when that will ever come out. And again, I hear Roll20 is better for streaming because it has a lower CPU load.
