(I tried to pay them with paypal just to check out the subscription version, in order to review it, but they scoffed and told me to get a debit card) no matter...  I only pimp free Virtual Game Tables...  free gametables that kick arse first and ask questions laterFirst of all... don't pay for the gametable...  pay for the gamemaster, give that man a tip! ...  there's so much free content out there and a kickass Virtual Game Table called MapTool is totally free as well...  I just finished out testing roll20 and I'm not impressed.  Don't get me wrong, the freemium stuff is fair, it only lagged a little...  but charging a subscription for more storage and Dynamic Lighting is just BS...  MapTool offers the same thing for free (and yes, I've seen it mentioned... I just pimp MapTool whenever I see sheep being led...)If ya don't believe me, check my credentials at The Tangled Web...  I'm Ao over there.  thetangledweb.net if yer too lazy to google.  That site let's you find tons of players ready to get together to play Dungeons and Dragons using MapTool and OpenRPG/Traipse/OpenCartographer, whatever the hell it is now and they don't charge for the service. Anyway, just trying to save some of the flock. If you can give me anything that roll20 offers that mapTool doesn't besides being totally browser based, let me know. (MapTool does require scary ol' Java... ooooOOOoooo... Scary...) not</blockquote>
