While there's a lot to appreciate about Roll20 and its integration with the books and character sheets of the most popular RPGs—perhaps it's not for everyone. Good as it is, it could also be considered:
- intimidating for players wanting a simpler interface
- boring for players that have experienced nothing else
- irrelevant to fans of less popular RPGs that aren't deeply integrated into the platform
- expensive for GMs that wish they had more power or storage
- repugnant to users that prefer FOSS, alternative platforms, or self-hosted options
I may skew into one or more of those categories. But what else is there?
gTove
A lightweight web-based open source VTT that nonetheless offers stacked map levels, and 3D-like rotation of the map to view the table from any angle. Of course, some popular features like animated dice and Fog of War are also built-in. Storage comes from Google Drive integration, but it's necessary for a demo and an 11-step walk-thru. I found this one the easiest to use and understand.
