    Post Fantasy Grounds

    I play online with a program called Fantasy Grounds. My players actually move tokens ontop of the maps on their screen and I can see where they move and what they role. We have an open chatlog and often a skype call going.


    I play with a friend from High School, even though we're in different cities. Our games are 3-4 hours which wouldn't cover the travel time between us one way.

    There is very little reactive automation. Virtual dice and role playing rules work just like the face to face real thing. It has its challenges but I get to play with people I miss and I don't go out in the nasty cold.

    Next game I'll take a screenshot to share, or you can go to the website for the program. http://forums.fantasygrounds.com/home/

    I'm not affiliated with them at all but I do like thier system. The biggest challenge is that you burn through maps and its really nice to have good ones.

    Myself, Torstan, RPMiller, GamePrinter, as well as many others who lurk here use Maptool for online gaming(and sometime face to face also.) Although some of the features are built with D&D in mind, it is easily generic enough to play any style of RPG game.
