[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 8175081, member: 6796661"] Not sure what you would be looking for. Pretty much any VTT can support this. After all, the game master sets the scale of the map, tokens, etc. For large scale hex maps I would use manual fog of war with square/hex reveal (e.g. you click on the square/hex and it is revealed). For outdoor battles where the scale may be at at a larger than 5' scale, but still meant for moving tokens around (10', 50', 100', etc.), its easy. I just set the grid accordingly and the tokens are all properly sized. While one could make the VTT grid at the same scale as the map grid, generally I keep the vtt grid at 5' and just size it so that the correct number of squares appear in the map squares. That way I can have larger scale outdoor encounters with line of sight and lighting working just as well as with a 5' grid dungeon crawl. Personally, I've come to prefer non-gridded maps. For example, with Rappan Athuk, I bought the map pack, which comes with both gridded and non gridded versions of each map. With non-gridded, I just need to know the map scale, set up the VTT grid at the proper scale and I'm done. No need to waste time trying to allign the VTT grid to the map-image's grid. This is especially important because Rappan Athuk maps are not all consistently 5' scale. Many are at 10'. And FGG isn't great about being consistent with pixel settings for their gridded images, so I can't just memorize the pixel settings for one and apply to all. [/QUOTE]
