I've been playing around with Virtual Table Tops since I found Klooge back in the day. I've played with many, and the first one that has come close to what I want in ease of use and features is Roll20.
Tabletop Connect: 3D Virtual Tabletop for Windows and Mac is damn close to what I've been looking for all of these years. It seems to be what WotC was promising a few years back that never came to pass.
3-D dungeons. 3-D minis. The promise of voice and even video chat.
I literally found this in my G+ feed 2 hrs before the Kickstarter ended and kicked in at the lowest GM level from my phone. I've never supported a Kickstarter from my phone before.
I'll be downloading the Alpha software later today. It's compatible with Windows, OSX and Linux. Three cheers for cross platform compatibility.
Apparently I've spent too long away from Kickstarter - I'll need to dig in deeper. Today, however, is reserved for football and beer ;)
Glad to see you pick up a copy. I'm looking forward to using this and giving it a go.
ReplyDeleteI'll be honest.. we never used minis and battlemaps back when we played back in the day.. I believe we used what Erik likes to refer to as 'The theatre of the mind'. It does look pretty cool though!
