I’ve never been much of a fan of VTTs in the past as they are always limited and things are likely to degenerate into the old table top arguments of “you can’t see that – yes I can” style conflict. This one, Wartop, changes all that. In doubt about whether you can see something. Just drop the camera down to the level of a model’s head and take a look. Why has nobody ever done that before? It’s so bloody obvious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, having watched a little bit of the development of this application, I decided to give it a try. Have to say, I’m impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Okay, so from an unbeliever, why suddenly am I showing any interest in a VTT? Simple, I and my friends cannot always meet at times that are convenient to us, or dedicate the amount of time necessary to a physical table top game – whether skirmish or war. Having to pack stuff away also does not help. Even with photographs of the field, it’s never going to go back precisely the way it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This solves that problem. We can set up a battlefield, set up combatants, save the whole thing, and off we go at our convenience. We can then save progress for a later date and get on with our lives. No mess, no fuss, no time wasting packing stuff away or setting up again. So much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With some of the things that I’ve heard are coming down the line to this application, I confess I’m rather excited for the future. Some very cool stuff is going to arrive over the next few months that I think will make this the go-to VTT for skirmishing and war-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worth the money? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
