Greetings

[Redrobes]

Thanks. The demo movies were good. I'll check out the trial.
Does Viewing Dale include mapmaking software and is that any good?
Can you use any custom graphics you want?
Does it include dice rollers, the SRD and all that?

It can make maps - almost all of them from me on this site are done with it.
You can use any custom raster graphics - bitmaps, jpg, png etc
It includes a dice roller tho I give that away free on the site under the free utils section - just download and use it. Its the full thing.
It does not contain the SRD or any rules to any game. Its a generic map and VTT tool and includes fantasy icons only. You can link points in the map to docs and web pages tho so you can link to the web site for the SRD. So link skeleton tokens to skeleton stats etc. Theres links in the keyword index to viewingdale where there are more movies about the Fentor Cross Church showing more stuff.

Oh, It's actually your own product, didn't realize that.
You should make an actual gameplay demo movie showing of all it can do!
I'll try it out next year.
Cheers

Might just do that. I am in the process of updating to V1.06 tonight so expect an imminent update.

'Trevor' on this site is key dev for MapTool and 'Heruca' is the same for BattlegroundsRPG. Likewise 'Kepli' is pretty important to Dundjinni and 'Waldronate' write Fractal Terrains, tho those last two are not VTTs. So its a small world and the guild has most of us as members .

There are tons of members here to came from the Maptool site or visa-versa. I have used it to play several RPGA games of D&D 4E Living Forgotten Realms and have run a few sessions as the GM and plan to use it in my groups face to face game I will be starting up in March. The current development version has seen a huge increase in macro support in the past 6 months(from pretty much nothing to fairly robust) to do anything from rolling a single dice and spitting out the text to (a lot more work to set up though!!) rolling an attack, comparing it against the targets defense and applying damage to the target.
