    As with other online tabletop alternatives during the Roll20 controversy last year, I think Astral got a bit more popular with that. I have no idea how good it is though.

    Well the UI certainly is more aesthetically pleasing. But I'm having trouble navigating it. I'm sure I'll adapt after a few hours of study, but if the difficulty is detrimental to play I'm opposed to it. There's also a "promotion" going on allowing "everyone to have pro features" right now, which makes me have no idea what I'll get in the scrubby free version. We'll see how it goes.

    Regarding the cook and other classes... I would prefer if we didn't use those classes since I am unfamiliar with them. But, that's just a preference. So long as you do the research I'll allow it, with the caveat that if the class is unbalanced in either direction (either too OP or dying all the time) you'll be willing to make a change.

    XD Cheers.

    Also, to the people who've talked to me about their characters, maybe drop what class/race you've picked in the thread? That way, people worried about doubling up can see what's what. Also I don't mind any doubling up, especially since we're probably West Marching things quite a bit.
