Has anybody tried tabletop simulator for pathfinder? What is your experience. The google heavy nature (ajax, fonts, plus) of roll20 makes it a pain to use as I live in China...I also have connection problems with Fantasy Grounds...
Hi, I use tabletop simulator. It has robust custom content as well as fairly easy to use controls. I've used it to play games like cribbage, chess, red dragon inn, and settlers of catan. I've poked around in the rpg content and seen some utube videos of the capability. It seems a useful platform to have online pathfinder session, though I haven't tried it.
Do folks using TTS for RPGs tend to "flip the table" when they roll a critical miss?
Go MapTool.
Less eyecandy, more potential than Roll20, Fantasy Grounds and so on will ever offer you.
All for free.

I second MapTool.
I use it for my RL group with our own cheaper version of a virtual tabletop. Whilst you may not have any desire or intention for a set up like this for your own group, the tool itself allows me to be incredibly well prepared for sessions by fairly quickly importing maps from published APs and overlaying a grid and sight-blocking or just producing my own and then pulling that in.
It's got a good host of features, is stable and reliable when you put it in server mode for people to join remotely. Oh and as Astral mentions, it's free.
It does rely on Java and has a fairly steep learning curve (I suspect there are dozens of functions I am not using) but I still haven't found anything better overall to date.
