1. We aren't going to offer storage for images because it's expensive and other companies already do it much better than we could for free. Lazy people (like me) can use the default tokens and shapes to give their players a rough idea of what the battle landscape looks like. 2A. I think we're talking about the same thing. However you're right, I should upload a video explaining background images since the terminology can get confusing. Thanks you!
@wraithstrike Thanks for your feedback! For the armor, you'll need to check the "Equipped" checkbox for any of the calculations to your stats to take effect. That's something a few people have already been confused about so I think what I'll do is make new armor and shields equipped by default. For the classes, a lot more than just the saves calculate based on class. I will definitely be adding support for more classes as I develop the sheet, so for now class selection will be limited to what's in the select dropdown. The Overview tab should show you just about everything you need to use once you fill out a sheet. Scrolling vs tabbing is a personal preference, but maybe we can add that option somewhere down the line. In regards to the map: 1: Just enter a URL for your background image into the Image field and the token shape and letter will disappear, using the image instead. 2A: Right now the map background is designed to be used with "tiles," repeatable images. You can definitely put a whole map in, as long as each individual square is 40px x 40px. We don't have any resizing tools, but if it's something a lot of people ask for, we'll see what we can do. 2B: The text description there needs an update. I was showing the default background image which is four alternating-color squares that are 40px by 40px, totaling an 80px x 80px image. You can definitely use a larger image but to achieve the basic tile effect the default image does, those are the instructions to follow.
That's great news! Thanks for the feedback.
@Jeremias That's super weird! Try going here: https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions Find Beyond Tabletop and revoke access. Then go back to http://www.beyondtabletop.com and click the login button again. Once you land on the dashboard, click the + Sheet and see if it still happens. If it DOES happen, then try refreshing the page a few times and letting it load. We've never run into this error before, so we're still trying to figure out what's going on. Lastly, if all that doesn't work, go to https://drive.google.com and find the Beyond Tabletop files you created listed in your documents. It should say something like "Beyond Tabletop Pathfinder Sheet." Right click on one, click share, and when the window pops up, share it with my gmail account (I sent you an email with the address). That will help me see if the sheet is busted or if there's something going wrong with the account. Sorry again for the troubles!
Oh no! Sorry about that. That error occurs when you try to access a file on our site that your logged in google account doesn't have permissions to view. It could be that your login didn't work, or maybe you're trying to access someone else's sheet? I would try going back to the homepage, clicking login, making sure you've granted authentication to the Beyond Tabletop app from your google account, and trying it again. I also followed up on email so you can let me know if the problem keeps up.
Hello, fellow Pathfinders! I wanted to let you know that Beyond Tabletop is in open beta, which is free for anyone to signup and use. http://www.beyondtabletop.com/ Beyond Tabletop is a set of tools for RPG players who want to enhance their in-person game sessions with cleanly designed, easy-to-use online character sheets and maps. It currently offers two products - a battle map, which is designed to accommodate many RPG systems, and character sheets, which are built for the Pathfinder system. Take it for a test drive and let me know what you think!
Thanks for the feedback! We built Beyond Tabletop with expansion in mind, and we're still working on adding features. Our Kickstarter has several tiers that include alpha and beta access, and those users will help us determine which features are most important for our application. We've already gotten a few requests for this feature, so if you sign up for alpha, it's likely you'll see it added soon!
Hey guys, My partner and I launched a new virtual tabletop service that today called Beyond Tabletop. It’s a simple set of tools for drawing maps, creating flexible characters, and generally getting an RPG game up and running without having to learn some complicated interface. The controls are intuitive and allow for spontaneity for your game master and players. It’s also a web-based application, so there’s nothing to install and it runs on any device with a modern web browser. We launched today because it’s International TableTop Day, and as long-time tabletop players, we’re big fans of Pathfinder and the online RPG communities. You can check out our Kickstarter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/beyondtabletop/beyond-tabletop We built this application because we honestly couldn’t find one that let us be as lazy as we wanted to be. We wanted to use a virtual tabletop in our real life game to avoid some of the mess - wet erase markers are the worst, and tokens were always falling off the table. Seriously one of our players is the worst eraser we’ve ever seen, his page is just black smudges, and we’re pretty sure he uses that to cheat on his rolls. But the virtual tabletops we tried took way too much time to use, required us to install things or plan way in advance - they just didn’t fit our style. We wanted to spend our time playing great games, not dealing with all that stuff. So that’s what Beyond Tabletop is about. This application is already built, but we’re still adding features. We’d love to get some feedback from you guys about what you want in a virtual tabletop, so check out our Kickstarter and see what you think. Thanks, and happy gaming! |
