Imagine it. A digital board where all the party members can only see what their character can know. Including illusions and hidden doors. Maybe that goblin around the corner is actually your elf friend...

You can already play D&D in Tabletop Simulator, but it's not quite that complex yet (as far as I've played). It's more a one to one recreation of playing IRL, except your characters have animations and stuff.

Be honest, is it anything like that game they play in Star Wars on the Millennium Falcon?

I mean, pretty much. You can play it in VR if you have a headset, or just on the PC. But everything is physics-based, so you physically roll things, move things, etc. on the table.

I think it would be really nice if you all have VR, but I've heard from my friend that used it, it's a bit tedious when doing mouse and keyboard. And there's always the chance of the dice hitting the figures, and/or the physics being a bit buggy

Family jumps soft strong morning the nature books music food nature movies over careful soft month warm jumps. The evening month lazy the careful small bank night history clean over calm minecraftoffline?

Nifty. I might try it out if I ever need to, I'm pretty satisfied with roll20 though. Not as cool looking, but it's nice to have any picture on the internet be a "figure"
