Game Table

Game Table

Gametable is a remote RPG whiteboarding client. It is designed to play RPGs online, providing an interface for all players to use a shared map. Anything any player does to the map, all players see. The map can be drawn on, have miniatures (we call them pogs) placed on it and moved around, have terrain underlays placed on it, and a host of other features. You can even point at the map and people will see where you're pointing. It is easy to add your own pogs and underlays, even while in the middle of a game, and they will propagate to the other players automatically. Also, Gametable has a die-rolling macro system that allows players to roll dice publicly. Gametable is written in Java, meaning it will run on any system with a Java Runtime Environment, so it is useable by Windows users, Mac users, Linux users, and pretty much everyone else, too. Finally, Gametable is freeware. You don't need to pay a cent, there are no built in advertisements or beg dialogs, and there is no malware, spyware, or adware in the install.
