Hey
What is a good program to use for online gaming?
Thanks in advance
For Pathfinder, it seems the best are:
The reason why I list them, is that they have specific builtin mechanics that make certain tasks automated... which leads to generally quicker encounter resolution. And they all have Pathfinder specific frameworks. There are plenty of other Virtual Table Tops, but they're either missing Pathfinder specific stuff (Fantasy Grounds), or are completely systems neutral (Battlegrounds).
MapTools also has a Pathfinder specific framework.
You should also check out Fantasy Grounds - it's a great piece of software that uses the 3.5 OGL rules as its default. There's a supportive user community that has already developed some Pathfinder rules extensions.

Can you point them out? I've actually been looking and I've found nothing...
I'm not sure if this is the latest version, but you can find it here.
PF extension for Fantasy Grounds (pg. 7 of the Pathfinder RPG ruleset thread)
Note: you need to be registered to download the attachment.
Our group use a modified d20_JPG ruleset instead of the extension, but either should work fine.
If you know basic xml it's rather easy to tweak too.
I'd recommend FG unless you really want or need dynamic fog of war/line of sight.
OpenRPG is what I have used. It's text chat, maps, and dice rolling. For me, stripped down simple.
But it seemed to be less and less people.
I'll have to check out the others.
