Mapping software

[Dredj]

I was just made aware of this program: Gametable

I haven't tried it yet. I just thought I'd pass along the link, however.

Any screen capture to have an idea what it looks like?

When you download and open it, you get a game table that looks like this,

plus lots and lots of .png images like the two examples.

I have not yet found out what exactly to do with this, but I would hesitate

to call it a mapping software in the usual sense.

That looks more like (very) old-fashioned dungeon floor tiles.

It allows you to create a small map and put counters on it. The networking ability allows you to have players connect to the map over the internet and use it as a game map, moving their counters as though they were miniatures.

However, this program is largely inferior to maptool or screen monkey.

Ah, thank you - so it is a kind of online fantasy chess with unusually ugly

pieces ... >:->

You can easily replace the pieces if you wish. Just place nicer PNG images in the appropriate folders. This program is easier to use than maptool, but less powerful.

Ooh, maptool...thanks Rosen.
