Ok guys, this has me beat. What *does* this do that a VTT cant or why would anyone use this over a VTT. This seems like an utterly ridiculous solution to the problem of online gaming. They say its great for all but a few clunky bits like dice rolls, not having a map, no admin / user rights - like everything you need to play D&D then...

Has anyone tried it ? Has anyone who has used a VTT tried it ?
