[QUOTE="2WS-Steve, post: 2504762, member: 3289"] I've purchased all three and am torn between Fantasy Grounds and Klooge. Fantasy Grounds has been far more stable for me, and doesn't run in clunky Java. Also, I find myself oddly drawn to the little gimmick of actually rolling the dice -- it's actually fun to do on screen. However, Klooge has significantly better shared map features. Very easy to zoom in or out, and I can simply scan in my own images, then scale them as I desire, for use as miniatures. Unfortunately, it's also been unplay-ably unstable for me in the past, but the very recent updates seem to work. I suspect that FG will improve it's map stuff, whereas Klooge will not dump its Java clunkiness, and thus FG might move into a clear winner category for me. Screen Monkey has the whole, clients connect using regular web software thing -- but it was pretty slow and the interface makes it hard to run a game. Ghost Orb looks very interesting, but I figured I'd wait until it's out of beta to try it out. [/QUOTE]
