i would say 'of course!' ...but then i'm wondering what you mean (why you'd ask)...i might not understand what you're asking... What I mean is, am I going to end up with a single mini on the page, or can I cut and paste two rows of 8 - 1" minis? Thanks

hopefully, my previous posts and their attachments will answer your question.

Hi, I am quite new here (I have just discovered that TFT I played so long ago has spawned retroclones). I hope it is not against the rules of the forum to resurrect an old thread, but I have been using paper minis for years. I have some that can be downloaded here. Does anyone here use a VTT to play (with top-down tokens displayed on the maps)? Something like this: Solo scenarios for TFT seem almost ready made for it. Those from DCG could be very quickly adapted for it.

Hey, bhoritz, welcome to the boards!
No problem ressurecting old threads - otherwise they just fade away!
Thanks for the paper minis. I use metal myself, but I have been accumulating them since '78 so I have a lot. Most people don't, so this is a nice thing for the people.
I have never used a Virtual Table Top, but I think I am in the shrinking minority. Tough to tell, though, as what we see online is anecdotal and not neccessarily representative.
Feel free to expound upon it, though, here or in a new thread!
Bret

Thanks for the welcome. As for the use of VTTs, I don't really use them to play online, but as a mapboard for face to face sessions (with the added advantage using the "fog of war" to hide from my players what they should not see). I just thought that it would also work well for solo gaming. I still have to try that though. It has been a long time since I made some paper figures, but I begin to feel the urge to draw some (this time with fronts and backs), like this one I'll certainly post something if I do. My favorites ones (quite cheap too) are those made by Okum Arts Games and One-Monk. They can probably have a use for DCG games, I think.

Hey, I really like your art style. That Back of Beyond grunt is cool! An interesting period. I never knew much about it until I stumbled upon the Lead Adventure Forum - one of the best places on the web! Here is their BoB sub-forum. Even though the gaming medium is different ("lead" vs paper/virtual), I am sure you will find inspiration here, if you haven't seen it already: www.lead-adventure.de/index.php?PHPSESSID=9505f334b8a470aa04276cf7d7aa0f23&board=4.0As far as VTT for solo/programmed gaming, maybe so. It is a niche within a niche, but it could certainly grow into other media. Let me know when you try it! Bret

i was going to use GameTable (i think it's been renamed to something else now). i was going to scan the maps included in the adventures to use as the map in gametable. however, most of the maps use a 'true-row' hex grid and gametable only has a 'true-column' hex grid. of course, the grid can be turned completely off so this is not really a show stopper...but for various reasons, i decided not to go through with it.
i'm curious what VTT do you use?

also, with the now seemingly prevalent 40+" LCD TVs in most living rooms, i have often thought how cool it would be to use a VTT on a laptop plugged into a large TV when gaming in person with a group...

I am mostly using Maptool. It can look a little intimidating because it has many features, but it can be used basically (I mean like Gametable which was the first VTT I used). I am now experimenting with Roll20, which is an online VTT very easy to use (you'll just have to make sure that the map is at the right size). Hexes can be used in both orientations in both programs. Using a second instance of the programs on an external screen works wonderfully (though I am using a 27" monitor, I should have a try with my television, but it is not in my gaming room).

maptool was not conducive to how i wanted to do things. gametable was much less frustrating to use... ...but www.roll20.net looks like the shiz-nit! i'm glad i asked what you were using!
