If you have a gaming group online, what program do you use?  Is it free or does it cost money?  Where can I (we) get it?  What resources does it have available to it?  Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

I myself have always used Open RPG, but am wondering what else may be out there which you'd recommend.

Map tools is an older one. But roll20 has pretty much replaced it.

I'm looking forward to Tabletop Connect that Carl is developing right now. It's looking like a great program to use when it's finished soon. In beta testing right now but being able to drop in pdf maps and create a 3d dungeon from the layout looks pretty awesome. I'm working on maps now from some of my old 2e boxed sets to get used to the program.

Roll20. Free to use, but has a couple of nifty additional features if you subscribe. It has many free resources like tokens, plus some premium ones you can buy via microtransaction.

Roll20 is excellent.

 

Tabletop simulator on steam looks amazing to me and I suspect I would prefer it to Roll20 - but it's USD $15 per person, so you have to convince everyone to buy it!

Roll20.net. Being able to search google for images and drop them onto the virtual table is the biggest draw for me. It is great for pickup games.
