[QUOTE="AbelCodeMonk, post: 4791382, member: 80255"] A couple months back, we offered to build a tool for RPGs. You all asked for a [URL="http://www.virtualbattlemat.com/"]web-based virtual tabletop designed for forum games[/URL]. We launched it here a month or so ago and got some beta players. We've improved it based on their feedback, and are now opening up the beta. My favorite new capability is to easily to embed a snapshot of the current map. Here's one from our recent Scales of War game: [URL="http://www.virtualbattlemat.com/game/scales_of_war/"][IMG]http://www.virtualbattlemat.com/game/scales_of_war/snapshot[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.virtualbattlemat.com/"][COLOR=#0066cc]http://www.virtualbattlemat.com[/COLOR][/URL] is designed to be simple. It provides your game with a shared map and nothing else. We assume that your game also has a forum, blog, chatroom, or wiki where you're logging the running commentary. We try to work with your current game aids, rather than requiring you to change everything over to our tools. We invite one and all to join our beta. We want a lot of feedback to help make this simpler. Please feel free to give us feedback on this thread or by sending me a direct message. I want to hear anything you can tell me - good or bad - so that we can make this a more useful tool. [/QUOTE]
