I voted for MapTool (which is not surprising to those who recognize my handle here ;)). I've used d20Pro for some Pathfinder Online Society games and was not impressed. In fact, I'd use the word "underwhelmed." I've used iTableTop a couple times as well and had a similar impression. MapTool...

Well... I am interested in recruiting one or two players for a Tuesday night Pathfinder game (7PM-11PM Eastern Time, currently GMT-4). The problem is that the campaign is almost over! :( I expect there will be less than a couple dozen sessions left. And as anyone joining would be stepping...

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure what prefix to put on this so I used "Technology" since there wasn't a VTT entry. I know many of the people here are also on the RPTools.net forum and they will already be familiar with this, but I wanted to announce here that MapTool 1.3 is just about "done"...

You're correct of course. The code could be written in C or Fortran or COBOL, too. There are compilers for each of those languages available... Java is the only _practical_ cross-platform language. There aren't any others with the breadth or depth of support. PCGen isn't slow because it's...

John, I just want to say "thank you"! You have obviously put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the d20pfsrd project. (Well, maybe not blood. ;)) In any case, your effort has not gone unnoticed! We, the unwashed masses, salute you! :)

tenkar, if you want to chat with a developer/user with questions about RPTools and/or MapTool I'd be happy to do so. I'm pretty busy this week so a series of emails back and forth might be easiest, but next week I would be available for a Skype or Ventrilo call if you'd like. I'm not the...

If/when you do find the rules you're looking for you might find my dynamic crafting time page useful. You can find it at http://www.eeconsulting.net/pfrpg/poison-pf.html Basically it lets you fill in the Craft bonus of the creator and then choose a couple of variables to see the creation time...

In a blog posting somewhere years ago I remember seeing Monte (I think it was him) saying that there really was no reason why higher level spells couldn't be made into potions if they fit the general concept of being effective only for the imbiber. He said that things like flaming sphere...

You're using MapTool! Woohoo! ;)

What was the point of this post? You also posted it over on the Paizo forums and got plenty of response there... why here also? (It's probably something like "I wanted a wider audience". But given the number of responses on the Paizo boards...)

What makes it game breaking is that the GM forgot to tell the player, "You can't ready both a standard action AND a 5-foot step." Silly GM.

Bah! Sugar cane all the way, baby! (For those who don't know, that would be rum and its derivatives.)

Um, wow. Another "wow". Just one comment. Be careful allowing outside connections to machines on your LAN at home. :) Okay, I guess there is a second one too: "Cross-platform all the way, baby!" If I can't run it on my Mac or any of my Linux machines, I probably won't use it. :( An ideal...

Actually, that's not really true. MapTool is licensed under the APL2 -- the Apache Public License 2.0. This license is very similar to the BSD license which allows others to come along and take the code, modifying it and tweaking it as they go, then release it to the world as a "derivative"...

My friend has had a PS3 for years and I'm invited over to play when he gets a new game. ;) In all this time, the only games that have really held my interest are Valkyrie Chronicles (as mentioned by another poster) and now Modern Warfare 2 (in Team Deathmatch mode). I'm considering buying a...

I've played with HL3.4 in a VMware session and I'm not too impressed. The UI has an extremely clunky feel to it, like something from the days of Windows 3.1. :( HL doesn't auto-create any magical weapons (that I could tell) so if I want to give an NPC a +1 longsword I have to choose longsword...

This is a great solution because you don't have to repartition the Mac drive or install Windows on the internal drive. Buy an external drive enclosure that comes with Firewire support (NewEgg has'em for about $30). Don't bother with USB 2.0 external drives as they're so slow as to leave you...

Really? Hundreds of thousands? If you have a link to a technical site that says that, I'd be very interested. Some of the new Samsung units have very high rewrite rates before failure, but those are very expensive units so far. The read performance from either type of unit will be more than...
