Looking for a VTT solution - think I found it!

bluesguy

My current face-to-face gaming group has stopped playing (people having children - mine are adults now). I have friends from across the country that I use to play with. We have been looking for a solution that will let us play together.

**Skwyre ** looks like it will meet our needs.

Need List:

• Map sharing
• Chat
• Dice rolling
• Players need to be able to move their own token's on the map when it is their turn to act
• Turn manager (Battlegrounds RPG has a nice one https://youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4&v=8Al1z-hL-FA which is flexible enough to accommodate Hero Games Turn/Phase/Dex system battlegroundsgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2730

Nice to Have List:

• Ability to have preset encounters (map, tokens, etc.)
• Ability to import maps that are PDFs in addition to standard graphic files (jpg, png, etc)
• Simple macros for dice rolling
  ** We play Hero Games and there are two kinds of damage rolls, Normal and Killing.
• Ability to share media with players
• Inspiration Pad Pro integration so that I can just point Skwyre to my existing set of random generators I created using IPP3.0

Dream feature

• Ability to set up my own server, so I can host my games and not worry about your server availability. Especially if I can install it on the host system where my website resides and I have a ton of available disk space and CPU cycles available to me.

Part of my NOT list (i.e. I don't need these features):

• Character sheets
• Managing the actual combat (i.e. Token A swings at Token B and hits based on dice roll and then Token A rolls for damage and the program automatically updates Token B's stats)

Oh and Please Take my $ soon

Glad you like!

Making the Skwyre server available so you can set up your own is indeed the plan.
