Epic win on this one! You can upload pictures,draw rooms quickly, and then everyone there can show how they interact. I blew an hour just doodling around on the open public sandbox. Map and picture sharing for free with no sign up wait time...Awesome! Congrats on Vornheim too!
Totally kick-ass! Now all we need is something like John Mars' die roller for DCC (http://jmarrdesign.com/dcc/roller.htm). I really like that one as you actually have to click and drag the dice to roll and it shows dice rolling instead of just numbers showing up on a line.
Yep, Google+, a die roller, and a white board would be all you would ever need.
So if you're interested in using a communal "sketchpad" for running on-line games, Maldoor of The Mule Abides has some details here on a site we used last night called Twiddla. We just had the window open during the G+ game.
Start by just going to www.twiddla.com . It'll start you a new session with it's own address. You can give that address to anybody and then they can write on there. It was fun and easy and there was no sign-up or accounts or what-all. I figured I'd let the program speak for itself... [Image]/\ This is part of a map we made last night, with the location of the sleep-inducing plant marked by me...
Here are some more examples and explanations, click to enlarge. The first screenshot is pretty much what appears as soon as you open a Twiddla session. [Image] [Image]
[Image] The arrows I drew pointing to the "draw tool" and the "grid tool" are no longer accurate since I opened the "text" tool, sorry. But they'll appear there if you hit "draw".
