This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Havoc: Needs playtesters.

Cool. I think I might be able to run this on Fantasy Grounds.* It might be a few weeks until I can, but it seems doable. There's tokens, I could do character sheets as battlemats, and you can roll 3d dice. I wouldn't even really need to write a ruleset in XML.

I'll see what I can do.

*I'm in a transition period and am planning to move soon. No live game group.

The Mosaic Oracle is on sale now. It\'s a raw, open-sourced game design Toolk/Kit based on Lurianic Kabbalah and Lambda Calculus that uses English key words to build statements. If you can tell stories, you can make it work. It fits on one page. Wait for future games if you want something basic; an implementation called Wonders and Worldlings is coming soon.

It's a Windows-only virtual tabletop, which when used with Skype replicates the face to face experience pretty well. It's the only reason I kept a Windows partition for so long, until Windows 7 came along.

It's pretty cool, and aside from not inherently supporting hex grids yet, I think it's the best of the bunch, virtual tabletop-wise. With a custom XML ruleset, it will help you keep track of initiative, keep your character up to date as you take damage and status effects, etc. It automates a lot of the stuff that can slow down a game.

Huh.  Okay, that's pretty cool.  Will poke at this later...
