Learn to Play Online & Intro to MapTools

By Gitzman, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

Hey dudes,

So i know lots of people have been inquriing as to how to play remotely with their pals. I've been using MapTools for a while now which can really help those long distance games with a shared digital game board.

I will be running an introductory session on how to use MapTools and more specifically, how to use the Gtizman's WFRP3 Ruleset for MapTools this weekend, Saturday, April 30th at 11am PST (GMT -8).

In order to participate you will need:

  • MapTools v1.3b86 available for free here.
  • JAVA 6 or higher available for free here.
  • Skype available for free here.

If you want to run your own games, you will also need Gitzman's WFRP3 MapTools Ruleset avaialble at www.GitzmansGallery.com.

If you are interested in checking it out, please shoot me a contact request on Skype at "jburke.design".

I will provide instructions for logging into MapTools, running it, playing with the tokens and macros, and maybe a bit of designing maps.

I look forward to seeing you guys this weekend!

I have recieved a lot of interest though so i'll be sure to do another in the near future. In the mean time pleaes dont hesitate to shoot me a message on Skype or drop me an email:

This is a really cool idea and if you happen to successfully record a demo in the future I'm sure that many people will be interested to see it (including myself).

I took part in the demo saturday and I would recommend anyone interested in online play to check it out if Gitzman does another. I learned alot about maptools, which is a very impressive program especially considering it's free. Big thanks to Gitzman for his time. Sorry the recording didn't work out, it was a good time.

Sorry I missed it. Saturday was my game day. If a recording ever makes it out of one of these sessions, I know that I would most graciouly partake of it! Thanks, Gitz!
