d20 pro?

[luke vyseblade]

does anyone use this program? thinking i may use this to try to get some more gaming in, but i'm not sure how this program is for pathfinder gamer's, any thing you can say about it would be nice. and much obliged

also i'm not a hundred percent sure i posted this in the correct forum. i tried though

[Paris Crenshaw]

I definitely use this program. I used the free trial license and quickly realized that it's a great option for long-distance gaming. Now, a long-time friend and I have a pretty regular (almost weekly) campaign going, even though he lives in Texas and I live in San Diego.

I'm even considering hosting some Pathfinder Society games on it.

The program is initially geared toward D&D 3.5e, but rule set data for Pathfinder is available on the d20Pro website forums. Additionally, if you already use Hero Lab, you can export any Hero Lab character for easy importing into d20Pro.

I highly recommend it.

i would love to get some more society games in, are there anyone else who uses this? probably going to get it regardless

[Paris Crenshaw]

There have to be others. I haven't been able to get myself organized enough to run a regular society game in, but it's on my to-do list.

My advice would be to check out the d20Pro forums, as well as the game connection threads, here.

If I ever get my act together, I'll look you up and see if you're still looking for a game.

I bought a license today after seeing this.

Even if I don't use it right away, for $12.50, I couldn't pass it up.

Did they give you the code right away?

I ordered it, but I haven't gotten the email yet. I'm not worried. I trust Ed Healy.

Post an update if you would be so kind. I'm curious as to how long it takes to get the code...

[luke vyseblade]

thanks paris good to have someone looking out,

and to the others ooooh there are more, lol find one and we can run online more ha ha, and i like this video. i am officially sold, but it now all depends on a few financial things.... grr but glad to see there are people playing this

[James Martin]

Email came last night at 11:56 pm. I have my code and will be downloading and installing later. I'm really looking forward to playing with this!

Edit: Downloaded, installed, redeemed and online! I've got a learning curve to hit, but this looks like a great alternative to a weekly face-to-face game!

Thanks for the update...

It does seem like it will be a bit of a learning curve, but so far, I like what this one offers more than Maptool...

[James Martin]

I've played with it a bit, and it does have a learning curve, but they've got great tutorials online. I've already imported a map and begun to play around with it. As soon as I feel comfortable, which shouldn't be long, I would love to give it a go!

I am in a Pathfinder game in d20 Pro and it work well. There are some flaws with the program of course. For one Java doesn't handle packet loss very well so the game freezes sometimes. Magic users have to tell the dm what spells they memorize for the day. Also the game cannot handle the unlimited level zero spells. There are a couple other problems I noticed but hopefully they will be corrected in future updates.

I just got a licence for d20Pro yesterday - still need to learn it better. I am hopping to run a PF mini campain this summer based in Darkmoon Vale. Since I live in such a rural area d20Pro should help make it possible.

I'm using d20Pro to run my Rise of the Runelords campaign (thread here -- comments about my experience with d20Pro are interspersed with some of the earlier posts, but it's a campaign journal, so RotRL spoilers abound).

It's not a perfect program, but it's pretty good for my purposes, and I like it a lot. Would wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone trying to put together a VTT game.

What killed d20Pro for me was the inability (as far as I could determine) to use Hex maps. I wanted to be able to place my Kingmaker overland maps in the product (in addition to battlemaps) so that I could use it to perform reveals of explored territory.

If it turns out that it *can* use a hex grid, then I'd likely reconsider.
