Default Roll20.net?

Anyone try this site yet for GURPS? I'm sure it works fine if you're doing just normal DnD stuff, or even just using it to log campaigns and just the RP and rolling portion.

I used it in two games (one as player another as GM) and it works perfectly well for GURPS. Ignore the "20" in the name as meaning "D20 System" it's a pretty generic platform.

It worked perfectly for the one game I've ran with it. Closest thing I've ever had to a table-top game over the Internet. Quick, simple and no local software to download. Heck, there's not even the normal confirmation e-mail when setting up a free account.

From my limited experience, it gets two thumbs up!

I used it to run a few sessions of a GURPS game. Works fine for the most part. My group found that if we wanted working video chat, we had to use it in a Google+ Hangout.

looks identical to rpgtools.net we used that one. it's open source java so you can modify it off you want to add some feature that it doesn't have.

My group is scattered around the country. We use RPtools & skype.
The dice rolling on that works really well & you can have preset macros to roll for different things. skills, hidden skill rolls (only the gm sees), diferent damage rolls, ect...
