    Tabletop Software: So many choices so confusing

    Heh, sorry, "parser" could also be called a text interpreter. For context, a macro is a preconfigured chat line (that can contain commands such as rolling). So an example macro would be: "Fight [d20]", the square brackets represent an inline roll. Actually, I was just writing the token...

    Tabletop Software: So many choices so confusing

    It's crazy simple to create them in either tool, then you can drag-drop between the tools. The InitiativeTool even looks up images from the srd website automatically if you happen to be using d20 to create the tokens. could you be more specific ? It has a very powerful parser and expression...

    Tabletop Software: So many choices so confusing

    Or you could use TokenTool from http://rptools.net which does the same thing, but it's free ;)

    Tabletop Software: So many choices so confusing

    On a side note, MapTool is in crazy active development. There's a companion InitiativeTool that you can drag-drop to/from. Integrations are expected RSN. Have you tried the 1.3 development version ? It has support for simple character sheets, and more improvements are on the short list for...

    Another new Question: Old School Icewind Dale question

    You are correct, you can only learn new spells by copying them into your spellbook. Which sucks because when you level out in the field, you don't always have the next level of spells to learn to make use of the new spell slots. But what a great game (IWD2 is just as awesome, and is like 3x...

    Virtual Tabletop in action video

    <disclaimer>I'm the primary developer of MapTool</disclaimer> Last week I played in a one shot skirmish (run by snikle of FUM fame) with SavageWorlds rules in an Alien world. During the 5-6 hour game I ran a little program I wrote that snapshots the screen every so often. I set it up to snap...

    Announcement: E-Initiative(tm) Initiative Tracking Tool Website

    I expect, frylock, that you probably would get a lot more paying customers with a liberal licensing than you will with your draconian method. Like others, I change hard drives all the time (due to changing laptops, rebuilding my desktop, or a hdd failure). With a liberal license, I could...

    Simple dungeon-drawing software

    Have you tried MapTool yet ( http://rptools.net ), it handles that kind of on-the-fly mapping. Specifically there is an infinite space map that you can draw onto with freehand drawing with either colors or textures, along with pretty much all the common drawing tools you find in paint programs...
