This is a NOT related to Pathfinder Open Space - Right?

[MScott]

there has been so much chatter around the goblin works effort, I just want to be sure the Pathfinder VTT effort still exist and is moving forward as well.

Can anyone point me to more information on the pathfinder Virtual Table Top info and confirm the above?

[Sebastian Hirsch]

Yes it is not realated, but news about the VTT are still quite rare.

I remember this being mentioned as being separate somewhere, very certain of that... here it is: Lisa's very interesting story hour:

There's another major effort that has seen a lot of work in 2012, but that most people won't see until 2013: Paizo Game Space. For years, I've wanted to provide you with a means to play games with each other through paizo.com. There are a number of great virtual tabletops (VTTs) out there, but most of them require you to run a program on your computer. We wanted you to be able to play through your browser, anywhere and anytime. Earlier this year, Gary Teter finally had the time to focus on Game Space, and we announced it at PaizoCon. Since then, his team has been doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work to get it ready for launch. We had hoped to release it in the later part of 2012, but it wasn't ready, and I don't like to release products before they are ready, even if that makes them late. Gary and his team are currently doing small-scale testing with outside participants, and all indicators are that this will open up to everyone early in 2013. We have big plans for Game Space, but like most things in the future, it will take time for those plans to be revealed. We are going to launch with a simple VTT and iteratively work on it in conjunction with you, our fans, to give you more options and a better and better experience over time. Just as the paizo.com website has evolved over time, Game Space will do the same. I can't wait to fire up my first game on it, or use it with a big monitor in my home game.

I wish that Paizo would partner with Roll20 it is mostly exactlly what they talk about wanting to do.

[DarkOne the Drow]

Interesting. Where can I find out more of this PF VTT, seeing PFO is a dead duck for me.

I suspect it will eventually become available on Linux. But it has more contingencies which delay that happening early, at a guess. ;)

[Richter Bones]

PF VTT has me more excited then PFO! I've been using RPTools Maptool but it leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it gives me and my gaming group, who live all over the states now, a chance to still play some tabletop games.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Roll20 is a very good VTT. It loads in your browser and is free (thanks to kickstarter), but is far better than the other ones out there that I've seen.

[DarkOne the Drow]

Wow! I wonder why Roll20 did not yet appear on rpg tools list sites I visit. I been using MapTool and OpenRPG for some games, always looking for something better for Linux.

[ConflictRoleplaying]

I agree about Roll20.net. They have a great community size too, so you can usually find a GM or a group for pathfinder.

Also If I may give plug :) they are hosting Conflict PvP for pathfinder sessions there too!

Although, I have feeling that if PFO's Kickstarter gets to $800,000 then it will magically get funded at the last second.

[DarkOne the Drow]

I finished watching the videos for Roll20. They truly outdid themselves in making the product very user friendly to add content and to run the game. Having plenty available tokens already.

And they did it for relatively little money too.

[Dakcenturi]

Yup I run a Rise of the Runelords campaign on there for some friends and I plan to start running some Pathfinder Society session sometime this year (after this KS is over since it eats up a lot of time keeping up with posts :P)

This is the most recent discussion about it, I think.

Here's another one (with some links and lots of discussion).

I'm sure there are a few more, but they'll probably be linked somewhere in those two.

[DarkOne the Drow]

@Steve Geddes, thanx for the links.

I been trying to get it to work, but my main issue is the fact that I have little time to put all the maps in (if you have them put in, mind sharing them for the RotRL ones?)

This is the exact reason paizo should buy or partner with Roll20.net; all of the assets (maps, NPC, monsters)for all of the great modules like RotRL can be added to the Roll20.net marketplace for easy use!

I'll PM you. There is also a great thread on these very forums I'll track down the link. It has a lot of the maps and other community created stuff.

I'm hoping Paizo's offering is a little more robust than roll20. It'd be nice to see it as a combination of roll20 and d20pro features, but with "packages" of all the assets you would need to run the various adventure paths.
