EpicTable will present a shared battlemap, akin to a wet erase battlemat and miniatures, plus a fog of war feature to restrict a player’s view of the map to what his character can actually see. Designed specifically for roleplaying, EpicTable’s chat includes features like speaking in character or out of character, lets you communicate your character’s mood, and lets you switch personas. In addition, the integrated character sheet makes use of character information to perform dice rolls for you.

GRiP (Generic Role-playing for Internet Players) is a suite of personal gaming programs that give us all of the basic tools required to conduct a typical face-to-face role-playing session and combines with the power of networking so that we can quite literally play any role-playing game with anyone, anywhere in the world.

It uses the Internet to connect up to 8 players, each of whom is running iPC - GRiP’s freeware gaming client, to a host system running iGM - GRiP’s server and GM component (shareware at $35 US). These two, client and server, support the character sheets, maps, dice, tables, notes, diagrams and other tools we expect for a good role-playing session. Communications amongst the Game Master and Players takes place in an IRC-based chat window optimized for role playing via private whisper messages, interaction with one’s character sheet and through optional Voice Chat support using Roger Wilco or a similar utility.
