Virtual Tabletop Solutions?

[rachely476]

I'm not familiar with Infrno, I use D20 Pro for my game. It's a complete, stand-alone product.

d20Pro Virtual Game Table - Online Pen &amp Paper Tabletop Gaming

It was built to be used with 3.5, and there are fan-created hacks to make it 4E compatible. I'm pretty sure you can import CB characters into it (I only DM, so I don't know for certain). It handles the math side of powers just fine, but sliding, pushing and pulling has to be done manually.

Thanks for sharing the link!

Another vote for d20pro. Maptool is a better program if you put the work in as a Dm to learning it D20pro is quicker to get to grips with. Also you can import characters from the Wizards Offline Character builder or from Herolab making D20pro great for my Pathfinder game.

D20 Pro appears down at the moment. Alas.

I used to think the ability to import Chatacter Builder files was a plus, but the new CB won't have an export function for a while, and who knows what kind of file it will export!

There is a pre-built macro that some of the popular starter campaign files include for MapTool that allow you to import stat blocks for critters, PCs and NPCs. I've used it for building up Pathfinder Society Scenario campaign files and makes statting up the critters very easy. Copy and paste the stat block, use the one click button to paste the stat block in and now the token is all ready to go, save for a quick check over.

I'm a huge fan of MapTool and have been using it with my online campaign through twelve sessions over the past few months. Of course, I like fiddling around with macros, so I've written all of my macros myself (that's half the fun!). It's not hard to have initiative and dice rolls and powers added in, but I'll admit that I haven't bothered trying anything with areas of effect. Movement is easy, too.

I'm sure some of the paid options might be great, but I'm 100% happy with MapTool.
