Message: <blockquote data-quote="theSim" data-source="post: 6882776" data-attributes="member: 6803389">Good day,The Skirmish! DevTeam would like to invite you to check out the free open beta of our homegrown virtual tabletop "Skirmish! VT". As "Skirmish! VT" is still a work-in-progress, the feedback of all beta users will greatly help us improve our software; meaning your opinion can help us shape the final product. If you need any guidance there are some free Skirmish! map and token packs as well as tutorials on our website and of course we can be reached by e-mail, twitter, on facebook or in our community forum.[ATTACH]76397[/ATTACH]Why use Skirmish?- First of all Skirmish! VT allows you to use private or official Skirmish! assets without any  kind of restriction regarding size or type since it is not browser  based. This means that in Skirmish! VT you can use hi-res assets/maps (some of our maps alone are 50MB+ files due  to  their high details) and is perfectly suited for local game tables as   well as on-line play. If your bandwidth does not allow for hi-res content, don't worry: Skirmish! automatically converts hi-res content for low bandwidth set-ups with the click of a button. Also our cache system makes sure you don't need to waste time redownloading content in case of connection problems.- Then there is Skirmish! VT’s vision system. It has a  customizable Fog of War which includes map revelation/exploration and works as simple as in any  strategy or MOBA game you have ever played. No hassle, no manual fiddling, no guessing; what  you see is what you get. Furthermore it can be set to display the  vision of single characters or entire groups. In addition to that  Skirmish! supports dynamic light sources; either as torches on  characters or as standalone objects. - Skirmish! uses a unique plug-in structure which allows customization of most game aspects to fit any game system. The final release of Skirmish! VT will offer plug-ins such as the   RPG-Creator Plug-in as well as an open Plug-In API which will not only  allow the automation of gameplay elements of pretty much any kind, but   also allow radical changes to the user interface. This means you can   change anything from the appearance of Skirmish! to the game system you want to   play whether it is DnD, Shadowrun, or even your own game system. Plug-Ins and Plug-In settings can of course be shared in the community.- Skirmish! content. We are dedicated to releasing only hi-res map and token content and the planned Skirmish! world builder will help any GM create beautiful maps with our presets in a breeze. You can download the free maps and tokens from our store to catch a glimpse. Besides providing original Skirmish! content the final version of the store will also allow the sale/distribution of 3rd party content as well.Of course there are more features but in a nutshell we want  Skirmish! to be accessible, easy to use, able to handle complex tasks  for any game system and most importantly feel more like an actual RPG rather  than a tool.A lot of work went into Skirmish! so far and we hope you have fun using it. Thanks for  your interest!ChrisCreative Lead / Skirmish!
