Sneak Preview of a new feature in BRPG v1.3
BRPG v1.3, due out in June, will have the ability to attach multiple token images to a unit, and then easily swap out one token for another as needed. This new ability to swap token images will come in very handy, especially for wargames (e.g., think "flippable counters").
I've also made the feature flexible enough that you can have a different base size with each token that's attached to a figure, so that you could have, for example, a knight on foot with a 1-hex base, the knight in a prone or sleeping position using a 2-hex base, and the knight on horseback using a 3-hex base.
Horizontal and vertical offsets are individually adjustable on each attached token, so that the unit can remain nicely centered even if you swap in an image that would normally get its centerpoint shifted (for example, when a polearm protrudes out of the figure's cell).
Here's a short Quicktime movie showing the feature in action. To view the movie, I suggest you right-click the link and select "Save to disk".

you have a 64 page user manual...how about some screen cast tutorials. make it easy to learn to use.
also, I would suggest only charging for the GM client (and increasing price) and allowing the player client to DL for free.

You're right. Videos are a great learning tool, and I should make more use of them. Especially since many people are loath to read User Manuals.FormerlyDickensC said:
For now I just have one tutorial video, which walks you through the Dice Macro features:
Small Version
Large Version
It's around 16 minutes long. I suggest you right-click the link and select to download it to disk, rather than try to play the video in your browser. QuickTime (or some other media player that supports H.264 encoding) is required to view it.
I'm currently working on a new (much shorter) video that covers the card deck support. I hope to have that ready in the next few days. More video tutorials, and an updated User Manual, should be available after v1.3 is released.

Free Use Promo
Battlegrounds: RPG Edition is free for anyone to use from August 7th until August 16, 2008.
BRPG Player Clients and free Demos are temporarily considered to be licensed GM Clients during this time. The free Demo's 45 minute timeout period and other restrictions have been temporarily lifted. An internet connection is required for this temporary upgrade.
Anyone that's been "on the fence" about adopting BRPG because they would first like to hold full-on, no-limitations game sessions with their friends can now do so. I hope a lot of people take advantage of this opportunity to acquaint themselves with the software.
