Ordinarily these are things i would basically only use for character building, however lately i've been running a game online as our players are in different cities. So just about anything would be handy.   Is there something planned? If so, any ETA on the release?
#2 aleatoric Aug 01, 2014 5:43:53	http://www.codenamemorningstar.com   It doesn't have a full feature list or release date yet.   Why don't you use roll20?
#3 mellored Aug 01, 2014 6:23:06	+1 for roll20.   A good alternitive is maptools, which gives more customisation, but is less streamlined.
#4 theStinkingYeti Aug 01, 2014 7:02:07	We do use roll20, but as far as i know it has no character sheet things for d&d next as of yet. It was more for an easily done character builder so that i as the dm can have a nice accessible collection of everybody's sheets.   And that codenamemorningstar is not a wizards product correct?

Easily the best of its kind, imo, and rumor has it has a licensing agreement for 5E in the works (though it works better than any other already for 5E).  But again, there's cost involved ($39 for DM's license, $24 per player, or the Ultimate License that I have for $149 which allows unlimited free connections for players). Not everyone can afford to even make that one-time fee.   RPGTO is another option, which is free and certainly usable enough and free, with some fun features.   And as stated above, maptools and Roll20 are both good products that can easily be suitable for VT play.

I would love a D&D version of sims medieval where I could fish, build a house, collecting jewels, crafting magic item, training (collectable) monster pets, gardening...(also plant monster for a D&D version of plants vs zombies), trading...    Another option could be like the store of sims 3, where you can get free simpoints watching advertising videos.
