Web-based Maptools-like program for PbP games?

That's what I want, but I'd rather not have to provide the server. If it worked like a messageboard or a Wiki, that'd be nice.

But yeah, I guess I could set up Maptools to do that.
There's also ScreenMonkey (google it). The basic version was free when I played with it a few years ago, with the extended version being about $20 or so, IIRC.

You do have to leave your server up, though. It's not wiki-based, for example. Although I GUI-based wiki environment would be interesting! I could see some interesting things being done with SVG on a wiki. You'd be able to zoom in and out and the SVG would still look good. Of course, IE would probably have conniption fits over anything remotely resembling a web standard (ie. SVG) but people using a good browser wouldn't have a problem. :)

(Yep, no bias here, eh?!)

I use Google Docs spreadsheets...just change the columns/headers into squares, use different colors for different terrain, different tabs can hold player/monster info, etc.
