For a brief time I was a volunteer mod on the site, it was at a point where v1.0 was no longer being worked on, and v2.0 wasn't even in pre-beta. Like any real growth, it was a rough spot. So I walked away. Not proud of it, but I was hoping to get my own fairly regular game running, and iTabletop wasn't ready for prime time. I turned my attention back to Fantasy Grounds 2, no slouch in the Virtual Table Top field, but with a decent learning curve if you wanted to run a game with it.
I never completely walked away from iTabletop Pandoren (which I assume is a play on Pandora's box), as the stream of emails updaying threads I was following on the forums could attest to.
At the moment they are offering $25 Lifetime memberships, good for one person, with all the bells and whistles. Crap, that's right, the bells and whistles that set iTabletop Pandoren apart from the others: Video and voice built into the platform. Which is damn nice, as my group is in NYC, Texas and Washington State... and everyone wants to make faces and crack jokes. Hard to do that via the chat log in Fantasy Grounds 2.
You can also share sounds for events, video clips, PDFs (tho the last part is a bit touchy, as copyrights can be involved). Suffice to say it is far enough along that I can now stumble my way thru the idea of getting a game running with it.
At the very least my group with use this for the 4 time a year Gathering of Fools... so that those in distant lands (Texas and Washington) can enjoy and participate in the foolishness.
