Oooh, this Vassal thing sounds interesting. Tbh, the painting part of the tabletop was the most tedious and annoying thing ever. I know how people say it's half the fun, but not for me. Mostly because even if I followed an instruction video to the dot it would still be crappy. And not crappy as in the detail, but just how I got it on. I tried to paint a simple cultist and when I was done he was half black and half green seperated at the waist.
Edit: Not having to do the painting part would make it a lot more fun, although less accomplishing. /shrug
