Play by Post - We have a persistent web map program

[Than]

For Play by Post style games we have a web map that is specifically designed to run PBP games.

You don't have to use this forum to use this web map software you can use it for games played on other sites, however I do need to set it up for each group, so if you want to use it just PM me.

Features:

1) Pure web based, no installation required you just need a web browser.
2) Creating, changing and viewing the map is really easy.
3) It's free.
4) It persistently hosted so doesn't require anyones computer to be on and can be accessed 24 hours a day.
5) Two or more people can update the map at the same time without overwriting each other changes as it merges the changes in rather than replacing everything.

There is now a demo of the map at : http://www.pbpmap.com/demomaps/demomaps.php

PM Than (i.e. me) or leave a message in this forum section if you want me to set up a web map for your PBP game and/or you want to use this forum to run your PBP game.

interesting... what is that written in? php, is it? and what sizes are the tiles and counters you are using?

[Than]

Half of it is written in PHP and half of it is written in javascript. It uses mySQL as the database engine.

Tiles are 39 by 39 pixels.

some figures like "monsters (large)" comprise 4 tiles and so are actually 78 by 78 pixels.

I may offer up even bigger monsters later on
