Dundjinni

As note, at GenCon SoCal they were giving out heavy-stock rolled maps, poster sized. One was an inn, which flipped over and had a cave network. They looked REALLY sweet, had the 1" grid and everything. I didn't realize it was Fluid until I saw the Dundjinni website linked on yesterday's frontpage.

Maybe they should give away the poster free to the first 100 buyers.

I'd love to be able to just overlay a sheet of paper on the battlemat every time there's an encounter.

Ummm, it's Java - so it should run on a Mac...

You would think so, but the minimum requirements are listed as "Windows 98 or later". In the support forums, the moderators mention "We'll work on Mac, etc. after the windows version is out."

Silly puppies... Well, if it just needs a system specific loader/installer it should be quick... Oh wait - this is Fluid we're talking about, isn't it?

At least for the demo, it should work just fine to ask a windows-using friend (or enemy ;-) to zip up the installed app directory. It uses a standard java jar file that doesn't appear to use anything window-specific (no jni, etc.)

$80 seems pretty steep, but the graphics from the screenshots look great and I'd imagine its pretty tough to recoup development costs on a product that only tech-savvy DMs of a niche product (namely RPGs) will buy. If this is something that can be used just via a monitor/projector then I may spring for it.


Along the same vein if it doesn't support a Mac despite being Java why would they pay yet more cost to support an either more niche product. It'd make more sense to support Linux, etc... if anything because those people are the more likely to be nerdy gamer-types who are looking to use their computers more in the campaigning.
P.S. I noticed your website doesn't support Mozilla well
