I haven't used Fantasy Grounds in about a year. It's had a nice visual update a few months back!

Looks slick. I used to use Roll 20. They had a gnarly hack a few years back though. Thankfully I didn't have any significant details logged with them 😅
Ive used Roll20. Its ok but I much prefer Fantasy Grounds Unity or Foundry. Ive spent to much on FGU to make a real switch to Foundry, and I havent DMd in over 2 years. Now down to 1 play session per week.
That's fair. I haven't played in a long time but if I ever got back in I wouldn't be using Roll20. The other options look much better 👍🏻 especially the updated Fantasy Grounds.
Do you have experience with any FOSS VTT's?
Some aspects of Foundry may be open source. Commercial modules wouldnt be. I havent played with others

what's this?
Most free modules are open source. (MIT is the most common license).
Premium modules are closed. You would just have to check each one. (Hundreds upon hundreds of them).
It is a very good helpful community, I can find and talk to the developers so fast.. bug reporting and fixing, requests for just about anything needed if it is helpful I can get upgraded so fast. Literally hundreds of developers all working constantly to make the vtt experience amazing.
Their discords and githubs are so busy and fun. Foundry is very addicting. I have used Roll20 and its pretty good, but Foundry is much deeper and my favorite. I have seen a little bit of Fantasy Grounds Unity and it looks amazing as well.
I just have so much invested in materials on dndbeyond.. then add-ons for roll20, and now Foundry. Premium modules, premium quality animated maps, tokens, quality of life add ons, so much more. Fun times.
#Hola Fantasy ground is my VTT favorite, its aesthetic improvement is beautiful
