Virtual Tabletop Software - MAC freindly

[kobold]

I'm looking for some recomendations on Virtual Tabletop Software. I'd be hosting/ DMing a non-D20 game on a MAC, but most of my players will be on PC's.
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Andy

See the link in my sig. Also on that site you will find links to all the other virtual tabletop apps, many of which are also Mac-compatible.

Edit: Here's a direct link, so that you don't have to hunt around:

I've had a lot of trouble finding a VTT program that works for one of the players in my group. Not only is he a Mac user, he is very security conscience and is not willing to allow some of the setting changes that theoretically Mac compatible programs have 'wanted.'

In theory, the best program might have been the RPGtonight website which has all the software hosted there and you just log in - unfortunately it SUCKS. And I say this as someone who was very excited by the concept and wanted it to work. I'll watch this thread for suggestions as well.

The only "setting change" required by Battlegrounds, and most other VTTs, is port-forwarding, and that's only required if you have a firewall or router AND you are the GM. I don't see that as a security breach of any sort. What I advice AGAINST is completely disabling a firewall to avoid bothering with port-forwarding.

Heruca,
Thanks for the link. I've pulled the demo software for BattleGrounds and will mess around with it a bit.
My plan is to use it for a non-D20 game where maps are of little importance, my main needs are a die roller, chat private and public and characters.
Thanks,
Andy

I haven't used it, and don't have a MAC but this one is Java based:
