[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5217883, member: 21076"] [url=http://rptools.net/]Maptools[/url] and [url=http://www.ventrilo.com/]Ventrilo[/url] is an excellent combination. Maptools gives you a battle map to work with and for basic battle map use is pretty easy to learn to use. You can import maps, create your own maps, etc. Each player connects to the server instance and then controls their token to move about on the map. The GM can drop the critter tokens on the map and everyone can easily see what is happening on this virtual table top. I've used both Skype and Ventrilo with a preference for Ventrilo. The biggest reason is I can push the network load of Ventrilo to some other location and not have to have the voice and such compete with my bandwidth. I also like the push-to-talk portion of Ventrilo, which Skype does not have, though it does have a keyboard command to mute the mic. But with this setup it is really just one step short of being all together in the same place. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
