I bet this question gets asked a lot. I have been DMing an in person group for a couple months now. My first game back since around 2008 or so and I’m hooked again. The downside is that we’re all parents and scheduling is a nightmare (per the norm). We are only meeting once a month or less.
So I want to look into running another game online. I tried roll20 with a one shot that I wrote for the purpose and being that it was my first time using the platform it just kind of got in the way. I want to pick one platform (roll20, Foundry VTT, or whatever) and really do a deep dive to learn it so I can run an online game with a steady group. Setting up the self hosting of Foundry is no problem for me but I’ve read that players can find it confusing to use. I want players and myself to be able to manipulate the platform as seamlessly as possible.
Before I keep rambling on forever, what in your opinion is the easiest VTT to run and to play? I would like perspective from players and from DMs.
Word of warning, do not go to the foundry discord with anything related to plutonium. Don’t mention it, don’t have any screen shots showing it, pretend it doesn’t exist. They are a WOTC partner and will not tolerate distribution of copyright material without a license.
