I was looking for some test boards and tokens for the CTT (Campaign Table Top) and just stumbled across a vast pool of potential VTT resources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roll20/search?q=flair_name%3A%22MAPS%20%2F%20ART%20%2F%20TOKENS%22&restrict_sr=1 It contains some really nice art work and a...

So at today's game (one where I'm a player, but I also GM other games) the topic of talking over each other came up. This is particularly notable now, but happens even in person. So what tips and tricks do you have? Someone suggested a baton, but I pointed out this is difficult to do.

There's a whole bunch of virtual tabletops out there now. Use this thread to inventory them all.

This newcomer on the Virtual TableTop scene looks promising: http://foundryvtt.com/ This is a self-hosted system, so no subscriptions are needed. A demo is available.

Here’s an interesting idea - a shared virtual battle map that each player can interact with using their own device: http://www.trapstreetstudios.com/theCalamus/about/ [I moved this from the RPG Tools thread into a separate thread to make any future comments and updates easier.]
