[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9144016, member: 6779310"] I've used foundry and gTove. I'm on edge about whether to depart the Winblows OS, and so am hesitant to actually buy a Foundry license (was using a player's install). I like that it's host-locally. We had the correct adventure pack installed, and the rolling became a big problem when I set a non-standard association for an edge case roll (diagnosing a drive problem on heavy machinery and int, rather than HM and str.) gTove is free, no ads, and handles the maps decently. [LIST] [*]It's default for figures is to treat the 2d images as GW-style paper minis. The view is 3-D, spinable on the z-axis... [LIST] [*]the "back" of the counters is grayscaled; they can imply facing. [/LIST] [*]Has a nice tool for matching the grid to the image using a two-pin method. Unfortunately, this works well only if the features are near top-left, rather than the bottom right scalebar of most maps. [*]I don't use the stat tracking features; I prefer to use paper. [*]It lacks sheet functions AFAICT. [*]the die-roller appears physics based [LIST] [*]we aren't using the built in dice anyway - I've my own die-roller.

[*]While it's locally hostable, I can't figure out the dependencies to do so.
