Is this videogame-esque, 3d battle map tool that they unveiled back around the time of the OGL controversy? I remember being vaguely curious about it after having spent some time playing around with 3d battle mapping using Dungeon Alchemist, but I had already cancelled my DND beyond sub over the OGL stuff, and I wasn’t about to sign back up.

I mean, to take them at their word (which is a dubious proposition with Hasbro/WOTC, I know), I can understand how such a project would be a large undertaking. Furthermore I can see how the ROI may not make sense, as the standard should be unique assets and close integration of every addition a given module makes. Like, if I buy the Tyranny of Dragons (or whichever) module via DnD Beyond, I would expect to be able to open the VTT, click “Load Module”, and have practically all of the prep work for a session done for me.

Hell, I STILL think that would be valuable to me, a lazy DM, but I can acknowledge I’m a subset of a subset, and I’m still not willing to fork over more money to WOTC, so I guess I’ll keep doing the session prep myself, as is tradition.
