With things as they are, table top gaming seems to be hard to come by these days. But, for those of us who love to game, distance can be overcome vie the internet. PLenty of resources are available for those interested in taking their table top gaming to the internet, and dungeonmastering.com recently ddi a short article covering some of the options:
I have used Gametable along with a couple other forum members to some success... the program was quite easy to use and pretty flexible. It does have its limitations, but the service provided benefits far outweigh its lack. The only real problem we had was a lack of player commitment. Really, I think that the main issue with online gaming (and table top gaming itself) comes down to commitment. It's pretty easy to brush off an online meeting time because you don't have to see the people being left behind; it all seems a little less real, but when the games do happen, the experience can be great. Any other good online tools for playing PnP games over the web? |

In Real Life ™, people who aim to maximize their potential for lethality are called "dangerous psychotics" and are typically avoided by everyone who isn't forced to endure their company until someone has the opportunity to put them away or else put them down. No one likes that guy. Don't play that guy. Donate to Ankhanu Press | |

I've been using the demo of Dundjinni in order to create some wilderness battlemaps. It's working well enough that I'm considering buying the full program ($40 or so) to get access to more art. See some examples at http://www.dundjinni.com/ I haven't used this for the main campaign yet, but if you're able to access Macray's Keep, look at the tactical maps for the Renegade Hunters subcampaign for examples of what I was able to make with the demo plus touchups in Powerpoint. Edit: Regarding RPtools, is that something for chat-based gaming, or for more play-by-post gaming? Is it free? |
