Role Playing Tools
Role Playing Tools extends the pen and paper role playing tabletop to the computer by providing a die rolling tool with a full expression language including Javascript functions, tabbed rolling bars, quick summation features, and the ability to save and restore sessions. It includes an initiative tracking tool, a token making tool, and a client/server map sharing tool. All are intended to be simple, powerful, and enhance the game, not distract from it.

Release Notes: The theme and goals for this release centered around replacing the Battlemap, concentrating on the features that were necessary to make the experience better than using a physical Battlemap and minis. As noted for the past several months, a campaign file from 1.0M8 and before is incompatible with this release.

Definitely check this one out
If you are used to using KloogeWerks, OpenRPG,
Battlegrounds, or other table-top software, be sure to
check out MapTool and its brethren (InitTool, TokenTool,
and DiceTool, and the soon to be conceived
CharacterTool). This suite of programs is undergoing rapid
development, so be sure to watch the forums in order to
get the latest scoop.
MapTool 1.0M5 promoted to Beta
MapTool 1.0M5 was announced when it was more or less a stable alpha. It's been released now as beta with lots of new features even from when it was released alpha. The next release will be 1.0M6 and we anticipate it is the last beta release (consider it a release candidate for 1.0).
