[QUOTE="heruca, post: 6943048, member: 39068"] For anyone looking for a replacement for (or complement to) ZunTzu or Vassal, this should be of interest. [url=http://kck.st/2fD7BEH][img]http://battlegroundsgames.com/images/BGU_KS_Announcement.jpg[/img][/URL] The goal of this Kickstarter campaign is to fund the development of the next generation of Battlegrounds virtual tabletop software, which will be called "Battlegrounds Ultimate" (aka BGU). This "new" virtual tabletop isn't starting from scratch. It builds upon the ten years of development that went into the first generation of the software (BRPG). This project should be of interest to anyone with an interest in RPGs (it supports both remote play and face-to-face game sessions). Among other worthy goals, a successful campaign will help Battlegrounds restore full support for Macs. OK, so far, not particularly interesting to boardgamers. However... If the first Stretch Goal can be reached, Battlegrounds Gaming Engine (BGE) will [i]also[/i] get the v2 treatment, providing a great new virtual tabletop app specifically tailored for boardgamers. If this happens, a new Pledge Level will be added to allow existing BGE users to upgrade to BGU (ie, pay a modest upgrade fee without having to purchase a license at full price). If the second Stretch Goal can be reached, it will add a "free-to-play" mode, where anyone can use the BGU app without a license (albeit with a reduced feature-set), and that will mean LOADS more users, making it much easier to find extra players for your games. A BGU Gamer license will still be required to [i]create[/i] digital boardgame conversions, but simply [i]playing[/i] games produced by others will be absolutely free. Please check out [url=http://kck.st/2fD7BEH]the Kickstarter campaign page[/url] to learn more. At least watch the brief 2-minute video, which is pretty cool. [/QUOTE]
