    There's a wide expansion of scripted RPGs you can plug and play.

    It's a one-time purchase for the Game Master, then you have it for life. Has all the features that Roll20 arbitrarily locks away plus a seemingly infinite amount of amazing add-ons thanks to a very active community.

    It's incredibly easy to jump in and start a game with friends. You build character sheets level by level. It's got easy to use dynamic lighting.

    The turn based combat system and tracking features for 5e characters in this platform are far better than others I've used.

    As someone relatively new to VTTs I found the character building (and character sheet maintenance) much cleaner and more intuitive in DiceRight over other platforms.

    It's just some minor assets, no connectivity or maps. No better than forum RP.
