I gotta tell ya... I'm getting good at this virtual table top thing.
I just wrapped up my second session using maptools...
Over the past week I have added just about every room in Castle Ravenloft, over 80 locations, many of which included encounters. I even have rooms with stamps (rugs, chairs, tables, parchment on the tables lol), and secret door icons. Not to mention that I place info markers everywhere... just copied the text out of the book for that location and entered it into the info token...
Combat runs smoother, the visual aids really add to the story telling, but here comes the best part.
My buddy that lives in Florida.. played with us from Florida this evening. You know that little monitor I used last time you guys were here... I hooked my PS3 up to it... We connected using our eye cams so we could see and hear him..
Then he connected to my campaign via Maptool. It was flawless... ( I did have to config my router quick but the web site recommended by the tutorial was great, and I took care of it hours before we actually played). So we could hear him and see him... He could hear and see us.. And everyone could see the action.
It was a cool night... I haven't played D&D with him in about 16 months. Another player is thinking about saving the gas money and just linking up next week from home...
I owe you (and the maptools team) a thank you...
