Short version:
I would love to see maps and tokens in 3d. Like so: <a href="http://www.3dvirtualtabletop.com/pics/3d-virtual-tabletop-demo.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.3dvirtualtabletop.com/pics/3d-virtual-tabletop-demo.jpg</a>
Long version:
I'm so in love with Roll20 I've become somewhat of a Roll20 evangelist - I never pass up a chance to tell a gaming friend about it! Without fail, the response has been, "This is amazing! Thanks for telling me!" Well today I was at my local game store and I was telling the owner, "You gotta check out this virtual tabletop I've discovered!" He answered, "Virtual tabletop? You mean like this?" and shows me an app on his phone that has a 3d gaming map. (To be more specific, this one: <a href="http://www.3dvirtualtabletop.com/3d-virtual-tabletop-demo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.3dvirtualtabletop.com/3d-virtual-tabletop-demo.html</a> ) I said, "Well it's not 3d, but what it DOES do will blow your mind." Within minutes he had his own first game started and was trying out all the features of Roll20. "Wow you're right! This IS amazing! Thanks for telling me!"
So I looked a little into this app, and the browser demo is pretty much exactly like the app itself. Very bare-bones. Just a nifty toy, really. Not really 3d, more like 2.5d. And you can't switch to top down view. But if it were a Roll20 feature, I think it would be extremely fun. Of course, long run it would be awesome if there were full 3d like was suggested in this thread: <a href="http://community.roll20.net/discussion/2578/google-sketchup-as-3d-moddeler-for-maps-and-tokens/p1" rel="nofollow">http://community.roll20.net/discussion/2578/google-sketchup-as-3d-moddeler-for-maps-and-tokens/p1</a> But just having 2.5d would be a huge leap forward in my opinion and I'm guessing worlds easier to implement than real 3d.
