I am the lead designer on the <a href="http://www.ritepublishing.com/breakingofforstornagar.html" target="_blank">Breaking of Forstor Nagar</a>, an adventure in the frozen north to rescue an ambassador from a city built into a great glacier before it falls to the hordes. It's an adventure built from the ground up to played using maptool - either remotely or face to face. We have great people on board - ENnie award winning designer Ben McFarland will be designing and writing, Mark Moreland - editor of the Pathfinder wiki - will be editing it, I'll be doing the maps and the bulk of the maptool campaign construction, James Hazelett (DevinKnight) will be doing the tokens, and Tyler Bartley will be creating the illustrations that bring the characters and places to life. The other important person involved is you. This is a patronage project, so we need people to sign up and get involved. Patrons get a raft of benefits including daily input into the design and development, playtesting, input into the art and cartography, free high res graphics not to mention tuition on using maptool. If you're interested, check out the link above for more information.It's great to be involved with this project. I've been a long term advocate and user of VTTs and it's exciting to be creating the first ever adventure designed specifically for use with <a href="http://www.rptools.net" target="_blank">maptool</a> (free and open source, so no need to worry that you won't have the required software or hardware). Ever since the D&D gametable promised so much and then failed to deliver I think there has been a hole in the market for a good computer based aid to tabletop gaming. Maptool provides the software, and we'll be providing the adventure.As a taster of what to expect, here's a screenshot from within maptool:<img src="http://fc05.deviantart.com/fs51/f/2009/288/8/b/Maptool_Screenshot_1_by_torstan.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />Now isn't that better than a battlemat and dry erase markers? The minis are by DevinKnight, who will be creating custom tokens for use in the adventure. The ship is by myself and is a movable, rotatable object that can be taken out and used in other campaigns and adventures.

It'll be great to have you on board!</blockquote>
