You just download a zip file and unzip it. No need for Java/Python/etc.It's also easy to use, and can be used with any game system (it doesn't enforce any rules, that's left to the GM), and supports any genre.The interface is hidden away until you need it. Most of the time, you're looking at the full-screen map. There are no ugly tree-views taking up a good chunk of your screen real estate. All controls are clearly labeled in plain English, so you don't need to learn what a bunch of cryptic icons are for.The text chat can be saved, and sound, music, and visual aids are supported.Cons:It does not support your Stress Dice mechanic. You'd need to just reroll your D10 as you would at the game table.It does not have a measuring tool or dice macros (yet).Character sheets are only supported via JPGs right now, so they are not dynamic. Most people just keep their printed character sheets next to their computer.No freehand map drawing tools (yet), but you CAN map out dungeons using component room & hallway pieces.Your need for rotating GMs would mean that each person who will GM will need the GM Client, which is more expensive than the Player Client. However, I'd be willing to give a discount on a large order of GM Clients. Just email me and we'll work something out.You may also want to check out this comparison chart of virtual tabletop software:<a href="http://www.iconvention.org/vgtcomp.php" target="_blank">http://www.iconvention.org/vgtcomp.php</a>It should help you find something that works well for you.Better yet, join up for iCon, a free virtual tabletop convention taking place March 24-25. That will give you the opportunity to try out each package, ask questions, play actual games with the tools, etc.</blockquote>
