If
you visit the Roll20.net webpage, you’ll find that they’ve made
available an impressive program that mimics the table-top
environment. This virtual table-top design allows for players to
connect online and use webcams (or simple chat, if a webcam isn’t
available) to play together at their PC. The GM and players can move
icons representing their characters around, roll virtual dice on the
screen, and record game information in various ways. Pre-made icons
can be brought in by the GM, or purchased in the Roll20.net
marketplace. These icons can also be used to track damage, effects,
and other details during the game. The GM can spontaneously draw or
bring in his own maps, and can even use features like fog of war and
dynamic lighting to increase immersion. Solar Echoes works quite well
on Roll20.net, and I’ve just begun to put together icon packs for
people to use from the Roll20 marketplace. I'll provide a link to the
“Solar Echoes Alien Character Pack” as soon as they post it in
their marketplace!
