One of the items on the Wall of Features for MapTool is turn-based movement. There's a lot of discussion on their forums about how that should work, but it is on the list for implement in 1.4 (Trevor is working to finish cleaning up 1.3b35 so that 1.4 can be started). You may want to login...

I just checked my calendar output and the last line is, "Comments and suggestions to elt@irony.com [...]" so I guess if the Irony calendar isn't working, I can't help you. I'm sad that their calendar is gone, though. It was quite nice. If you're going to have a programmer buddy write up some...

What the players do with the loot is up to them. The fact remains that the recommended treasure amounts produce the correct "asset levels" for the PCs. There will always be something in every treasure hoard that cannot be used by the party. When I played a monk I was usually short-changed as...

Using a paint program that supports layers is a good alternative, as GIMP is free software. I mentioned MapTool because it has built-in vision/light support and can constrain token movement to a square or hex grid, if desired. I consider those big pluses. YMMV.

*Bump* It's been a couple of months, but not much activity here. :( I'm playing in two online games (Tuesday and Thursday nights), but I'd really like to get RttToEE going again so that the party can triumph and rid the Multiverse of bad guys (or die trying -- that's more likely! :devil:).

Try out MapTool from RPTools.net. It's free forever, cross-platform (written in Java), and has FOW that can be "painted" away (you select a region and the fog is removed). I'm not sure you can remove FOW while in "View as Player" mode, but you probably can. The big issue will be clearing...

But DM Genie's calendar is created by typing in a bunch of text into a TXT file. When you run the 'Genie, it lets you move forward and backwards in time (and can even generate weather), but I think the OP was looking for a standalone tool that *just* generates a calendar with things like phases...

There are a few psionic powers (in the telekinesis discipline?) that can move people/objects. My 5th level ardent just learned energy push which does 2d6 damage and then pushes the opponent by 5 feet for every 5 points of damage over 5. Without augmenting it, it can only push 5 feet and only...

Yeah, I used such a tool. It let you input the number of moons, the tilt of the planet, and so on, so that it could calculate sunrise/sunset, moonrises/moonsets, and so on. Of course, I told it I wanted months with exactly 4 weeks of 7 days for simplicity (!) but it could handle a lot more...

Heh, interesting idea. Now what happens if someone who is strong enough to lift the statue casts meld into stone and moves into a wall or cliff face, drops the statue, then exits the rock. What happens to the dropped item? And how tough is it to find the statue? Could the statue be dropped...

If you don't want Vista, and for your simple load you might not, just ask Dell to "downgrade" it to Windows XP. Essentially you get the Vista CDs and all that with XP actually installed (and you get XP CDs). You've got a light load with what you plan to run. For a heavier machine I would...

Methinks perhaps he didn't look closely enough. :) Of course, The Man has already seen this thread and responded. I'm curious about the database itself. Will it be usable on a real computer, say a Unix/Linux server? Or is this something that will only run on a PC? (Obviously, I'd use the...

And it's common for nobles to have more interesting ways to protect their valuables. For example, maybe there's a guard in the hallway or even in the room with the valuables, but I would expect flour to be coating the window sill. It would be amusing for a very wealthy merchant to have...

Just curious if you had any questions or issues with the MapTool program. If so, drop me a note here and I'll get back to you. I usually check these boards every day or two...

Have you tried MapTool instead? That's what I've been using for a little over a year. It is very active in development and has some features that will blow you away! The 1.3 branch is in "bug fix" mode so that it can become the stable release, but give it a whirl. And if you browse their...

I agree with the "simplify" mantra. I've been running a RttToEE campaign for 4 years now. I've had a total of 11 character deaths in this famously deadly module/campaign. The near-TPK at level 4 meant that three of the five PCs didn't come back. Later deaths were quite glorious as well, but...

I'll be traveling in Stuttgart (from the U.S.) for a couple of weeks this summer. If I come across any gamers during that time, I'll send them here. But that's about all I can do! :)

I also think the OP's use of the spell is reasonable (and I even read all four pages of this thread!). But if the aboleth doesn't want air breathers to get a Will save (or doesn't want them to have much of a bonus), the illusion of air should be placed so that the character is still mostly...

This is difficult to diagnose over the 'net! You really need to find a friend with some computer hardware experience and have them take a look at it. Some up-front questions: do the keyboard LEDs work (capslock, numlock)? If so, then there is some sort of BIOS or OS running that is...

Unless... ... you suspect that you're being attacked by an invisible flying creature, because then you might ready an action to throw a net up into the air the next time you are attacked. If you are attacked, and the attack misses, you might not know you've been attacked (without a high Spot...
