Does anyone here have experience using Vassal Engine as a VTT for D&D? The most useful module I've found was for the D&D Minis game back in the day, but it still leaves a lot to be desired. I want to update and improve upon it, but don't want to duplicate work needlessly if someone has already gone through the trouble.
Interesting. My group tells me they are in the duldrums. I have been working on creating adventures in Divinity Original Sin 2 but only 4 players can access it at one time and not all of my players have the computer or money for such a thing.
Just use roll20. You can have Multiple party members, you can build your work, you can build and/or import your own maps. Plus a lot of the content is free

I saw that one as well. However, to just use it to load maps and tokens is semi-easy I believe. Make a Vassal Module and load your maps and tokens in there. Any automation beyond that is something I'm not familiar with, but I get your desire to use Vassal, or Tabletop Simulator, or Fantasy Grounds, or Astral Virtual Tabletop. I wish OpenRPG was still in development and updated for modern Python. It's a dead project.
Sometimes having an alternative that you host is nice when floods of people take down a system or they have issues. Plus, you own the content.
