[QUOTE="Emirikol, post: 3999156, member: 10638"] This program is beautiful and fast. You can still run it like a D&D game. It's free too..and they're working on it constantly. We just got a test game up on Monday and my players are impressed. Since we still meet tabletop twice a month, I"m thinking we'll use it for some side quests. Gotta figure out Skype or Ventrillo yet too though, I think that will make it a little more personable. [url]www.rptools.net[/url] download maptool and play around with it a little. It's a quick learn, even for people with non-computer-geek jobs (like me). Once I figured out how to get the DM platform up and running (had to forward my port..whatever that meant I don't care..it was easy to get set up). Had my players linked in within minutes. They were happy it's free. I tried some of the others and just didn't get what I wanted: simplicity enough to run a game, players can see the map, it's got a dice roller, you can upload maps and make new player miniatures easily and you don't have redundancies..oh and it's free. How are the rest of you faring with RPTools? jh P.s. After running a couple of chat-based-games at Wotc, I realized that i needed something visual to go with the chats so I tried out RPTools, openRPG, and one other one. I settled with RPTools as the one for me. [/QUOTE]
