[QUOTE="aethedor, post: 9282983, member: 7043095"] About one and a half year ago, I posted about the [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/cauldron-vtt.700142/']Cauldron VTT v3.0 release[/URL]. A few days ago, I released v3.4 and it has a lot of improvements which I want to share with you. But let me start by saying that Cauldron VTT was, is and will always be a 100% free and open source virtual tabletop. It's my gift back to a rpg community that shares a lot. So, what's new since v3.0? [LIST] [*][B]Spell effect areas:[/B] A visual tool that helps you to see which targets are in reach of a certain spell. You can chose between a circle, a cone or a square.
