Playing Solasta has reminded me of the impact terrain and verticality have on Dungeons & Dragons’ battles, but it also highlights how far Virtual Tabletops fall short of what I had hoped they would offer. Solasta used the 5e DnD System Reference Document (SRD) to create a video game that faithfully adapted the rule set, more so than even Baldur’s Gate 3. The battles offer a fun way to experience a gaming system I am familiar with in a different medium, but its use of vertical space and interesting terrain set it apart from the typical tabletop experience. VTTs, theoretically, should bridge the gap.
