MapTool at PAX Prime 2010
Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 5:56 pm
Just a quick couple of images showing our setup running MapTool at PAX Seattle this year.
The table is the Locus from Geek Chic with Mesa Mundi Inc. screen technology inside. We're working together to create interactive gaming surfaces (I'm with Mesa Mundi).
MapTool is my preferred method of collaborative play for RPG's. The maps in this post and the Gencon post are all generated using Skeleton Key Games E-Adventure Tiles and are used for DND 3.5 games I've been running the last couple of years.
The Miniatures in the images below are tagged with either paper or fiducial markers for demonstration purposes. At this point, the build of MapTool being shown is stock. This means that the application isn't truly multitouch, but it does allow for finger (or other trackable object) interaction. Unfortunately the image shown doesn't show the fun lighting going on in this map. But there are about 4 different lighting events occurring in addition to a few characters/creatures with dark vision.
