[QUOTE="rugiii, post: 3291624, member: 49101"] I had been out of the D&D scene for awhile, when about a year ago, I tried to start up a small game with two of my cousins (we used to play every summer over a decade ago...but as they say, "all good things...") and it worked for a couple months...then one moved away and then the other moved away...and the game stopped. Couple months ago I became intrigued with the idea of the PbP style of play, but the one thing that sort of bothered me was the fact that, as far as I can tell, their is little way to replicate the table top. And ever since 3E D&D, the map has become a fundamental part of the game. Now I'm a hobbiest when it comes to web design and working with Flash (using SwishMax), so I thought I'd try to create a Virtual Table Top flash application that would allow the same asynchronous game play that PbP does. For the past 3 months or so I've been fooling around putting different versions of a VTT together, and I think I've got something that is...relatively useful and flexible (you don't have to "recompile" the swish-code every time you want to add a pc, monster, or map...you just add the files into the appropriate directories by way of FTP or your web site administration console) It isn't perfect by any means...there are still a number of bugs in the flash-code that mess up object creation every once in awhile (usually deleting the object and recreating it does the trick), and for anyone with a slow connection I can't imagine it would work...but it's something. I guess my question is: Is anyone out there in the Gaming World even interested in something like this? Is there even a need? If enough people are interested I'll whip up a prototype VTT and put up a link to it. [/QUOTE]
