“with 700+ hours in this "game" my Pathfinder group have had 4 years of weekly games and it brings the best in person feel to a game without being in the same room and helps more and more with every update”

“This is a good VTT. However, the way they handle character tokens makes playing in TaleSpire a very expensive experience.”

Period. + It…”
