Battlegrounds: RPG Edition (virtual tabletop software)

I just wanted to plug this program and Heruca in particular. My group purchased this back in September and have enjoyed it. When we tried FOW on version 1.2 it really bogged the game down and wasn't very usable. We recently updated to 1.3e and it runs VERY smoothly. I just upgraded to the GM client (which was very easy) and it is VERY easy to use. The map functions, FOW, and turn sequencer are all very nice. My group has bought seven licenses (four GM) and we are planning on keeping it for a long time. DDI may come up with a tabletop eventually but I don't think it will surpass this for usability. I also like the one time purchase instead of the monthly fee.
Lastly, Hercua is very active in development and on the forums. A lot of the suggestions I have seen in the forums have shown up in subsequent updates. I STRONGLY recommend the program.
Heruca, I haven't posted on your forum but we have exchanged a few emails. Thanks for all of your help!

Thanks for the nice plug, Jobu169! It made my day. 
Next on the slate for Battlegrounds is a much-needed update to the User Manual, and adding support for Flash apps/extensions/plug-ins, which should open the door to lots of cool possibilities.
I also plan on making more video tutorials, since a lot of people seem to find those very useful.

Free Use Promo
BRPG is free for anyone to use this weekend, in support of FUMcon '09 (even for those who are not participating in FUMcon).
Player clients and unlicensed demos will be considered to be GM Clients during FUMcon. 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 should try to take advantage of this "free use" period do so.
This is also a good opportunity to check out the free sample adventures, which can be downloaded from here.
