While I have been Playing and GMing D&D/PF for years I have never ran a PbP or realtime message based campaign (such as skype) and now it looks like I've been roped into doing one.
I could use a step by step guide on what is needed to run one.
Current questions I have:
1) Dice generator: I can find many but is there a method that can distribute the rolls to specific parties automatically.
2) What Map program to use. Again, there are a myraid of threads on map programs but I cannot seem to separate the wheat from the chaff. My needs for the moment are: simple to use with the ability to move miniatures and effects around on the map. I can get into a more complicated map maker sometime in the future after I work out the other bugs.
3) Map distribution. Preferably interactive although if there are grid co-ordinate systems that will work fine too.
4) Am I missing anything?
Normally I hate asking for help but, I am on a time crunch of a couple weeks as my players are anxious to get going.
Thanks, Gauss
P.S. If in the wrong forum I apologize. Normally I pay about zero attention to the PbP forums.
