This is an amazing VTT game, where you can literally just use other maps and customise them, or make your own from scratch. There's a vast array of different things to build with, and quite a lot of free minis. It also has a unique art style and looks great. Furthermore, it's not difficult to learn at all. I've ran over about 150 hours of actual D&D gaming, with the rest being used for map making. So far, myself and my players have no regrets with using it, and switching to online certainly has its benefits.

However, something has to be said with the direction of development. It pains me to say it, since the game shines in many areas and the developers in the discord are quite vocal and open to talk about people's likes and dislikes without getting angsty, which is great. But, the lack of substantial features for the game like; fog of war, mini creation, dice customisation (Seriously why isn't this in the game yet when the whole game revolves around these dice?), extra immersion features like weather or visual effects. We understand development of a game takes time, nobody is debating that. But for a game that has been in early-access development for 4 years now, and that doesn't have these fun, appealing features you can understand why people get annoyed. It's also the fact that many of these features are "Planned" on their roadmap, and their inclusion onto the planned section dates back a couple years sometimes. Their huge focus on modding seems to have dampened their focus on other built-in features unfortunately.

Although, despite this, I would recommend it. Who knows, I may be proved wrong in some months time. If you need a VTT thats reliable, easy to use and that runs/looks good, then Talespire is definitely one of the best options.

While it make take a bit to learn how to move, once you have some practice it becomes easier. I do recommend looking up Youtube videos or to join the Discord and there are many tips and tricks that a novice would have no idea how to do. I can't wait to see the final product.
