I am an active duty military member that moves around alot, who is having a hard time finding RPGA games. A friend told me there is a system/program that allows players to log in and play 4E online. With an interface-able battle map, dice rollders, etc etc.

Is this true? If so, where can I find it?

(links appreciated!)

I haven't had any luck finding a way to get into the rpga online yet though. Good luck!

Oh! My friend uses this tool. He actually met a group in the Order of the Stick forums, if that helps...

I haven't played online with it, or tried to find a group. So I don't know how hard or easy it is...

Rats, I thought there was a universal one. Maybe RPGA doesn't have one?

That would sure be a good idea.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but Maptool allows you to do just that, apart from the voice chat. With the latest versions you can even have separate vision for each of the characters, so that clicking on each one will show you what that character can / can't see.

As far as voice chat goes, my group has just been using skype - the latest version has done a lot to reduce bandwidth usage, so it works out ok.
