ajaximrpg 4.00: a browser-based virtual tabletop for role-playing games

[ajaximrpg]

I took ajax im 3.41 (not 4.0) and modified it so I could run D&D games
on it. I call it "ajaximrpg".

I just released ajaximrpg 4.00, the first release.

My demo server is running at:

http://www.svexpertise.com/ajaximrpg/server/

The code and 4.00 downloads are at:

http://ajaximrpg.sourceforge.net

How is ajaximrpg different from regular ajax im?

Anonymous users with lobby (no account needed)
User can change his own name on the fly
User can whisper inside a chat room
User can perform an action
Chat rooms are password protected
Dice rolling
Automatic chat logging
Special GM mode
Based on version 3.41
Lots of bugs

Why create ajaximrpg?

OpenRPG, the most popular system, has been falling apart for a long
time. Plus, it requires installation on the player's computer which
was a hassle for players and difficult for developers to push out new
features to existing users. I wanted something with zero installation
which made it easy for me to tweak and push out new versions to my
players. So, I invented ajaximrpg.

Kudos, criticism, promotion, suggestions, patches, volunteers are
welcome.

You know I've been scouring the web looking for a VTT that does what I
want it to do. I had just about given up. I have to say I like the
simplistic style you've got going here. I would like to make a
suggestion if I could though. It would be really great to be able to
have buttons for dice macros/text macros. Probably to the right of
where the smiley button is located. If you could edit those macros,
that would be even better.

Anyway, I really like this VTT and am looking forward to using it in
the future, once i figure out how to use it/configure it.

:D

Lots of people use macros so I'm aware of this need.

I plan to add a document tree in the next version and I figured macros
might be part of this. Maybe the "smiley bar" should become a sort of
bookmark/shortcut bar into the document tree that people can configure
to their own preferences. So, they might make the macro in the
document tree but add it to the "smiley bar" as a faster way of
getting to it.

I'll add this as a feature request.

Thanks,

Dan

I added this suggestion as the "Macros so user can paste text or dice
rolls quickly" feature request:

Feel free to comment on the feature request to add more detail (or
correct what I've got wrong).
