Register on the Four Ugly Monsters web site and sign up for playing some of them on March 24th and March 25th. Game registrations have just opened. All of them are free to try with a few competitions to win some of them. Almost everyone is participating and it should give everyone the best opportunity to answer that age ole question... which is the best. Because in actual fact the real question is which is the best for YOU.ViewingDale is map-centric so you will be looking at the map when playing using this one. You can create great maps in it as its also a full map making system too. You can measure distances using ruler icons and it has a fully customizable grid too. You can place icons on it at any position and rotation. It has built in chat.You can download the dice app for free here<a href="http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=dice" target="_blank">http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=dice</a>Thats the full app so give it a whirl. It has 3D dice and dice roll macros for (1d10+3d8+2) * 6 but it does not do reroll for 1's or anything else special. In fact the whole of ViewingDale does not have any preset rules built in. If you need to reroll then roll some more dice again.There is no DM version and Player version - its all in one. Even people that do not host the session can still be the DM. Theres very little difference.You can create character sheets in ViewingDale of any style and a whole bunch of boxes, shapes and skill sets are available to download. Again, no rules built in. You have to calculate the character sheet values yourself.Its very fast and has almost no lag because it uses graphics card hardware to render all of the maps.You can link movies, sounds, music, text and anything else to any point on the map.Theres a free demo to try here...<a href="http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=free_trial" target="_blank">http://www.viewing.ltd.uk/cgi-bin/viewingdale.pl?category=free_trial</a>but, like I say, sign up to various games, wait for the free iCon demo available early to mid March and try them all out with skype, and some tutorials from the creators of them *live*.</blockquote>
