The virtual tabletop is non-system specific. There are no D20 sepcific functions at all. You can use it for pretty much any RPG.

Looks kind of complicating, why not just use skype and openrpg? I'm just asking, thanks. =] I'd love to rp online, but players always flake out and don't show on time.
Hyptosis, I'm going on two years now for my weekly OpenRPG game, and I swear by it--but you are right that "flake out" is a common problem. It took us some time before we "settled" on a good group--and we've had to "encourage" some players to leave to get where we are now.

Hehe...encouraged...heehee. Well, I guess it's true, two just didn't match our playing style...Don handled those. The other was...interesting, please note that it's never a good idea to kill an established PC (yes, PC not NPC) your first night in game.Originally Posted by pyrandon

haha, seriously, I'd say in the last 6 years, I've only played one full game online, it was on openrpg, and lasted a little over a year before it fell apart, saddly near the end of the story arch, but what can you do? =P
I play two games, one on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday and the other every Thursday. We play using MapTool for both and the Tuesday game uses Ventrilo for voice. Both games have been incredibly successful. So online gaming is definitely possible. It is just a matter of getting the right tools and players which it sounds like I've be unusually successful with.
Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

Wow, map tool looks pretty wicke,d is that anything like openrpg? It looks a ot like it, only maybe more advanced map... tools.. oddly enough. =P I've never played over a voice chat, I'd set up a voice chat with video support for me and my friends back in the day, but they still weren't reliable enough to show up half the time. =P Very frustrating after spending 20 plus hours building a campaign and making maps. =]
