[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3836611, member: 41321"] That is one downside of OpenRPG and MapTool. You usually make the maps elsewhere (like in Paint or a mapmaker like DungeonCrafter) and import them into Open or MT. Open and MT's job is to move minis around, let you sketch things on the map, and give you a chat interface to talk with. I like Open's chat interface better than MT, but MT has a much better tools for the map (thus it's an appropriate name), so I'm split between the two. Sure, Wizard's table-simulator will give you the ability to make the map in-game, but it doesn't look like it has any sort of macros for dice rolling (so you don't have to remember and add all the bonuses in your head), or easy ways to calculate who's in the range of the fireball. You don't have those things on a real table either, but they're things I'm used to, and if I'm already using my computer for gaming I'd rather have all the bells and whistles that a computer can give me.
