At the moment Foundry's biggest weakness is that it's missing a lot of less commonly used rulesets. If you're playing 5E there is no WotC module support. It has D&D Beyond integration but you'll need to manually set up every map and encounter.
It doesn't have any map creation tools but many of us don't need that.
They're nearly feature complete but they don't have enough of a playerbase yet to have much in the way of extensions. If they get official module support they are going to be, leaps and bounds, the best VTT going.
That's why I'm really keen for people to start looking at the other VTTs with the aim of staying competitive but it feels like any time I make a suggestion, someone is quick to point out that Unity doesn't allow it . I'm heavily invested in Fantasy Grounds, a lot of us are, and we want it to work out but FGU is the only one of the big three not supporting animated maps and tokens.Last edited by Rylan Storm; October 18th, 2021 at 16:27.

Animated tokens are the size of a typical gif. Be sparing with them and it's not a big deal.
Animated maps vary in size. Some of them are two minute long videos in 4k. Some are 5 seconds long 1080p. Most people on Patreom have a mix. You can get some that are 15mb in size so multiply that by your number of players.www.accidentaldm.com - The diary of a Newbie DM

Yes, but the average user doesn't look at the details of how big files are, and understand how that will impact their performance and transfer times. It's always a balancing act.

I think that, if someone is subscribing to Patreon for animated maps, they're probably not the average user.
But maybe, if that's triggering a lot of support cases for you guys, maybe a warning on image size in app would help.www.accidentaldm.com - The diary of a Newbie DM
