The main-series of the tutorials were created with MapTool v1.3.b91. So I started a new series, the tutorial updates (see startpost), with new features from v1.4.0.0 - v1.4.0.5. More videos will come when the next stable release is out.

Have fun!

Added three new tutorial updates with new features up to MapTool v1.7.0. Two more videos will come soon (Token VBL & new FoW-options).

Also updated episode #01 of the main-series, because installing and starting MapTool is so much easier meanwhile.
