Joining Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, and WotC’s own VTT plans, the Foundry virtual tabletop is getting official D&D support. You can se their announcement video below. This will give yet another way to play D&D and that's some very good news. https://www.enworld.org/threads/foundry-gets-official-d-d

I’ve been paying $10/mo for a roll20 subscription for years. It was the only VTT I had used when I started gaming online, and it worked well enough. I knew about Tabletop Simulator, but roll20 had the benefit of not requiring every player to buy software.

Recently I started using Foundry as a player in a friend’s game. We’ve been using it for a while now and holy crap, it’s so, so much better. We are specifically playing DCC but hearing they’ll have official D&D support makes me want to migrate all my roll20 games and stop paying a monthly fee. Foundry is faster, cleaner, has more options, better docs, and easy to find user-created plugins. I can believe my DM only had to pay a one time fee of like $30-50 and I’ve already paid hundreds of dollars for roll20 (not including the books I’ve bought) for a vastly inferior experience. This will definitely help me get buy-in from my players

Your post has intrigued me. I am in the exact same boat with Roll20. I'll give Foundry a shot for funsies.

Keep in mind you have to host the server yourself for players to join. Otherwise you can use a service like The Forge to host it for you, but then you’re incurring the same kind of monthly fee as roll20. But the interface and responsiveness compared to roll20 is great. Some of the controls take some getting used to

Oh interesting. I had no idea it worked like that. No big deal.
