Roll20.net

Post by Mira »

Very nice virtual tabletop, no software installation at all. I used to use OpenRPG for gaming with others online, but development stopped on it, plus getting the right mix of Python and wxPython made it a pain. Roll20.net works purely in the browser.

I've played a couple of games in it, and discovered there are some flaws, the voice chat is not reliable. I'm sure it will get better, but you're better off using Skype for voice in the mean time.

Otherwise, it works well, people are working on character sheets for different systems, but sheets aren't needed to play. I love the way you can load maps that are far larger than the display, but keep the resolution normal. So people can move along in the dungeon and uncover stuff as they go. I would think that's perfect for Undermountain.
