I can warmly recommend kLoOge.Werks. If all you need is shared maps and the ability to move counters and other items around on the maps, then kLoOge.Werks does that quite well. It can also do a lot more, if you need...

I thoroughly enjoy using RPG SoundMixer. It contains some basic fantasy sound effects, and the website has various sound libraries. As for aquireing fantasy sound effects in general, I get most of mine from computer games I own: The Baldur's Gate series, Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind and...

In the RPGSoundMixer forum there is a lavish collection of links to free game music (in German though - but the links speak for themselves). Also, Interplay's website used to have a complete archive of all music from Baldur's Gate I and II, plus some music from Icewind Dale. But that has...

I am not forcing him to take a feat. To be very, very precise about what I (his church) require of the paladin, it is as follows: 1. Spend at least one skill point each level on Knowledge (Religion) until the church is satisfied with his knowledge. They will at least require 3 ranks, and then...

No. I said that I am working him towards a couple of prestige classes. Absolutely. He can just continue playing a paladin (provided he now decides to atone and try to remain a paladin). I am not preventing him from that, nor forcing him to play a particular prestige class of my choice. At the...

He still has. His character can do what his faith demands, or he can stop being a paladin and then build and play his character just as he likes.

Sorry, but since you don't know the player or the character or the situation, I really don't feel your criticism is relevant. Suffice to say that is a newbie player, who lacks some basic knowledge about game mechanics and paladin code (which was what got his paladin into trouble). Also, the...

I am in the process of punishing a paladin in my group, and I am also avoiding removing paladinhood and long atonement quests. Instead, the paladin is required to fast one week every month, meaning that he will be fatigued, with the penalties that entail. Also, he may not receive any form of...

I can also recommend RPG SoundMixer for playing ambient fantasy sound effects.

If you are considering dedicated software for running online games, there are a couple of programs and utilities mentioned in this thread in the software forum. I can heartily recommend kLoOge.Werks, especially if you want lots of features for handling online battlemaps and tokens. The...

There are a couple of programs mentioned in this recent thread. I can heartily recommend Klooge.Werks :)

Klooge.inc to be exact - www.kloogeinc.com, and their virtual tabletop software is called Klooge.Werks. My group and I have been using it for more than a year as a replacement for miniatures/tokens/paper battlemats, and we are very satisfied with it.

I'd say it's not just make-up. Not when you can see all the ribs on their backs. So they must be on their way to lichdom. I wonder when their noses fall off.

So they've found the Great Library of Alexandria? Oh dear - Egypt will be getting a load of technological advances now...

Though it isn't excactly a quote list, there is an on-line Planescape: Torment novel based on the in-game dialogue: http://torment.db-forge.com/unovel/html/index.shtml. The dialogue is used verbatim and there are chapters focusing on most major NPCs, so you may be able to find their background...

We have actually used tokens for larger battles, again without a tile-based map. And though it was great for tactical overview, the freedom of movement slowed down combat considerably as we had to get the ruler out for every move, ranged attack or to measure the precise extent of threath ranges...

RolePlayingMaster is definitely impressive when it comes to the load of features. But its BattleMap is a little sluggish compared to kLoOge -- though I'll certainly have a look at the next version of RolePlayingMaster if the map usage will be smoother. It is great that there is some software to...

I tend to assume that most spells function relatively invisibly. If every spell is a gorgeous lightshow, you could rarely do any stealthy spellcasting -- merely casting Protection From Evil while approaching an orc encampment under cover of night would make the camp guards do spot checks to...

My group and I are looking for software to manage movement on a map during battle. We’re considering kLoOge.Werks, but we want to take a peek at other possible solutions before deciding what to use. We basically want some program that enables us to load a map on a laptop at the gaming table...

Another good collection is Fantasaya.
