What is the purpose of grouping the character sheets? Is it just a part of their name or does it have some other purpose. From a GM's POV: So that macros can be executed on "groups", which means serially executed on all character sheets in that group. Search checks, spot checks, fall into...

As a programmer long-in-the-tooth, I would like to suggest that what Maptool is missing is simply automated containers . The cards are, as some have rightly pointed out, simply tokens. As would be dice. The concepts of "decks" and "piles", are really different names for the same ...

I killed an hour or so familiarizing myself with how the FOW and Light and Vision functions interact, and I have to say that, despite some fantastically robust functionality (light source definitions, among many others), I have two suggestions: (1) In the next major revision of MapTool, centralize c...

WoTC is putting out an outdoorsy set of dungeon tiles and the grid is actually just tiny "plus" signs at the vertices of what would normally be full squares. Why can't this be specified for the grid? Have a checkbox for the grid that's called "vertices only" that, when checked, a...

I've never used either of those tools. What are they doing that makes them better? Maybe I can integrate it into CT. OpenRPG's interface had, as one of its main windows (besides the map, chat, player roster) a "gametree" (tree tool). One node of the tree had subnodes that were templates f...

There's no forum under the Character Tool heading for general discussion; they're all for specific support of certain systems...so I posted here.

I did some work for OpenRPG a few years back, but lamented its Python implementation and some core design oversights. I love MapTool; in many ways, it is what OpenRPG could have/should have been. So this suggestion comes with much aforethought -- and not just programming expertise, but scholarly res...
