Virtual Table Top programs for GURPS - Page 5

I've been Gming with a group for over a year using Maptools & Skype for voice.

We think it works really well.

I didn't even know there was such a software.
This is pretty interesting stuff. I wonder if any
ever tried to use a combo of forum-based RPG
& then switch over to tabletop when everyone
is available at one time (or something big or
detailed such as combat is occurring).

Yes, that kind of setup has been heard of. Campaigns out there have even been planned that way from the beginning.

As everyone knows - I've been using www.playbyweb.com for 12 years now.

Limited video and graphics capability, 24 hour a day realtime chat feature - Very limited mapping ability. It is free however.

Until I can find 4 straight hours a week in my schedule for a store game or itabletop game - this is it. Good points are - play when you want to and will play on anything - even cell phones.

Interesting. I'll need to join one of these games as
a player & try it out.
