Do any of you guys have recommendations for a collaborative online virtual tabletop (as a bonus, it'd be nice if we could use it offline, as well - i.e. when we play local we could update via laptop)?
I found the following programs:
OpenRPG
PCGen
They both look promising...but ideally I'd like to host the game, etc. on my website so we could all play from there. With the tools above, does everyone have to run it and everyone has to update it manually (if we're all remote)?
EDIT: I now see that you can host your own OpenRPG server. This looks promising...but it'd be even better if we all could do it via a website! I know...I want it all.
I'm finally starting to "give in" on the fact that most of my friends and I are rarely going to be able to meet. Even shooting for two times a month is going to be a stretch. I'd love to do pure pen & paper at the tabletop but I think that will pose a challenge. It'd be nice if I could run a game both online and offline so we could play online when necessary and offline when we have time. It's still all about getting together with friends!
