I&#8217;m aware I&#8217;m being cynical here, but I don&#8217;t really play TTRPGs to explore my favourite franchises, <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/dandds-upcoming-virtual-tabletop-radiates-a-big-budget-misunderstanding-of-what-matters-in-role-playing-games\/\">I play them to tell new stories with my mates<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it <em>would <\/em>be a right laugh to do a one-shot or short campaign following Karlach&#8217;s adventures after the end of Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3\u2014she practically pitches us on one during the game&#8217;s epilogue if you take a certain story path, promising a heist to Zariel&#8217;s personal forge we&#8217;ll never get to see, since <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/baldurs-gate\/lets-just-have-closure-on-baldurs-gate-3-its-been-great-weve-done-our-job-larian-ceo-says-he-hit-the-brakes-on-dlc-plans-because-the-teams-heart-wasnt-in-it\/\">Larian isn&#8217;t planning on making DLCs<\/a>. These shiny minis would be a fun way to facilitate that, if Wizards of the Coast doesn&#8217;t beat players to the punch and make an official adventure.<\/p>\n<p>However, I could probably achieve that well enough with some elbow grease and access to the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/how-to-play-dd-on-pc-a-primer-on-popular-virtual-tabletops\/\">other VTTs out there<\/a>, and while seeing a 3D-rendered Karlach in all her glory would be <em>nice, <\/em>one of the TTRPG&#8217;s biggest advantages as a genre is that you can bring cities into existence with the power of your words and shared imagination.<\/p>\n<p>WoTC&#8217;s seeming insistence on creating a shared, hyper-monetised franchise out of a hobby that&#8217;s ultimately held together by graph paper and duct tape is setting off a mental carbon monoxide alarm in my brain. Turning the cast of Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3\u2014written, conceptualised, and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/baldurs-gate\/im-sad-to-see-the-old-gang-go-but-larian-really-doesnt-need-the-baldurs-gate-ip-or-dandd-to-make-another-groundbreaking-rpg\/\">created by Larian<\/a>\u2014into marketable minis to promote an app feels just plain weird, if entirely anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>Especially since these new rulebooks have <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/oh-for-goodness-sake-d-d-has-early-access-periods-and-pre-order-bonuses-now-like-a-3d-model-of-a-dragon-for-a-virtual-tabletop-that-doesn-t-exist-yet\/\">pre-order bonuses<\/a> for Project Sigil already. I don&#8217;t <em>want <\/em>to keep ragging on it\u2014I want D&#038;D&#8217;s first proper VTT to be additive to the hobby, rather than adopting all the worst habits of videogame monetisation\u2014but nothing I&#8217;ve seen so far inspires that confidence. I&#8217;d like very much to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I&#8217;m not some luddite who&#8217;s strict about pen and paper, either.

Similarly, as someone with working memory difficulties due to ADHD, Foundry&#8217;s automations and modules have been a godsend for keeping track of Pathfinder 2e&#8217;s floating modifiers as a DM.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell.
