VTT support for playtest?


Prerelease Discussion

Has there been any news regarding virtual tabletop support (or lack thereof) for the playtest/playtest adventure?

I've been away for a while so I'm not sure what the current state of Pathfinder VTT support is. But I imagine that VTT support of some kind would help facilitate the playtest for a lot of people. For example, I'd love it if I could purchase a VTT package with the playtest adventure preloaded. (I don't know how feasible this is for the VTT companies and for Paizo—maybe it requires too much backend work for one or both of 'em?)


TBF I'm just going to extract anything I need from the free pdf and plug it into Roll20 myself. Don't see it taking more than a Sunday morning.

Sure, that's probably true. I know it can be done manually.

But (1) I've never been very good at that. And (2) more to the point, my time is very limited and so it would be a good trade for me to pay some reasonable price in exchange for a platform with the playtest adventure preloaded (maps, tokens, maybe some monster stats? idk).

I imagine I'm not the only one that would appreciate that option (again, don't know if Paizo & the VTT co's are planning on it and I don't know how feasible it is anyway). So I thought I'd ask.

Edited to add: I also don't know how much demand there would actually be for something like this. Which is to say, I can think of some possible reasons that VTT support for the playtest might not be offered. But since it's something I would maybe use and since I hadn't heard anything about it—can't hurt to ask


It is a shame that Roll20 doesn't have an easy way to export/import a project as a whole otherwise I would happily share my work.

Although I could take a lot of the effort out merely my extracting all the map images and putting them in a drop box separately. The monster/character tokens with full macros would have to be entered manually and even with duplicate templates that can take a while.
