Conclave Virtual Tabletop

SECURITY RISK: DO NOT PURCHASE IN CURRENT STATE THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS ANYONE TO ACCESS THE FILES ON YOUR COMPUTER, INCLUDING YOUR C: DRIVE AND WINDOWS FOLDER. The rest of my review: On paper conclave is exactly what i want from a vtt, in practice it fails to deliver in almost every respect. Conclave's ui seems good at first but there are so many glaring issues that need fixing immediately 1: dragging maps and minis sometimes just doesn't work, you have to click and hold on an object, wait a second or two and then drag. This makes doing anything in a timely manner REALLY frustrating when you're sitting there clicking and dragging only for it to ignore your input. 2: despite using dungeondraft maps in a lot of its promotional material conclave straight up does not scale maps in an intuitive or sensical way. I had to tweak a standard DD map to the THIRD DECIMAL in scale before it actually lined up with the in game grid. 3: UI windows are plagued with problems, you cant scale them, you cant drag minis with them open some times and the camera just straight up freezes completely when windows are open. the escape key only works occasionally to close them and they are overall unpolished and annoying to use. 4: no ability to delete minis or maps. Its awfully annoying to have to make entirely new scenes every time you miss click a mini into being or place the wrong map, not to mention changing maps requires you to load an entirely new scene 5: Conclave gives players invited through steam remote play complete access to all your files. WHY!!? even though i trust my friends i certainly don't trust a steam game to be secure when it allows anyone in my game to just browse through and access everything on my PC with impunity. There are many more issues that i have found with this program across 12 hours of play time. I highly recommend that you DO NOT purchase this game until the devs actually finish it. This program is so dangerously susceptible to all kinds of security issues including malware, ransomware, RCE and so much else. p.s. Agressive Combustion devs, I'm probably pretty high up in playtime relative to everyone else who has bought and played so far. Happy to provide more detailed feedback.

I am looking forward to my first session with this game. My Pathfinder group will really appreciate not having to count out every space for AOE spells, as well as having a 3D version of their characters instead of screenshots of their heroforge minis. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a pretty looking and also easy to use table top simulator.

As it stands, this is [b][i]BAD[/i][/b]. Avoid for right now. This is several [i]years[/i] behind Tabletop Simulator or even TaleSpire. I was hoping it might be useful, but, it's not even [i]interesting[/i] right now. Okay, point one: No hexes, not useful. Sorry, D&D isn't the be-all and end-all of TTRPGs. If it doesn't do hexes, automatic can't recommend. I spent about 20 minutes in it and quit in disgust. Some observations: Man, is this janky. It actively fights you from being able to use it. There's no way to usefully control the camera. Sometimes the [i]insanely[/i] janky Ctrl or Shift mouse just stops working. Completely. The camera becomes locked, and all you can do is hit "1" to try to reset it. Or, alternatively, Alt-F4 to get out and use a better program. [strike]I have a huge Hero Forge library, but, there's no way to link it? Where do I do that? I can see how to reset it, but not how to actually link to it.[/strike] okay, so, to link your Hero Forge Library, instead of asking you for your Hero Forge Access Key [i]it asks you for your session password![/i] So, that's where you enter your access key to get your Hero Forge stuff. What does the session password actually do? It doesn't prevent anything, and when I try entering it again, it tells me that was the wrong password. Mrnh? Why, when I'm looking at a navigation window does typing make things happen on the screen and not on the window? How do I move, or remove, blocks that I can seemingly summon in? Apparently, it's like an old-school Sierra game and you have to hunt for the SPECIFIC pixel that is active for it. Wow, the Altitude mechanic is utter jank, I couldn't even tell that I could type a number, and it's not a [i]useful[/i], comprehensible value. What about games that use yards and not feet or meters? Radii only? No linear distances? It says I can load my own Asset bundles in, but I can't. All I can load are graphic files. Maybe I can, but, there's no information on how to do anything. And the bloody tool tips are [i]behind[/i] windows so I can't see what is going on. Oh, wow, getting out and back in, it forgets your resolution, and if you chose Fullscreen or windows. Wow. [eta] And, what are other people supposed to be able to do? The moment I share, with a friend on the same network, he gets a Steam Popup covering his screen saying he can't do anything because the owner is using the program. [/eta] Save your money. Get Tabletop Simulator or TaleSpire (I gave TaleSpire a can't recommend as well, as it doesn't do hexes, but it's a [i]dream[/i] compared to this) instead. Sure, everyone in your group has to get it as well, but, they both work. Which is more than I can say for this. This needs several more man-years of work before it's remotely useful. They say that it's not a menu hunt, but, menus would be better than this.

Just got to test this for a bit. My friends and I have been looking for a good vtt we could use when we're not all local and this seems like a pretty good option. I can tend to get overwhelmed by confusing interfaces, but i could navigate this relatively easily.

Simple tool but gets the job done

I cant wait to show this off at my next game session! Not only can I play using my hero forge mini models but can also freak out the entire party by rolling 30 D20 at the same time!! This is great!

continuing to play this game slowly increased the water pressure of my urine until i could chisel through rocks. i am a god among men. my friends used to make fun of me for owning this software and never using it until i cut them in half. with my super laser power piss. hope this helps you make an informed decision on your purchase!
