InfinitasDM

I just bought this tool to use it to be a better gm, however, I will be refunding this. A few reasons why: The maps I saw in the trailer are not easily recreated in the program itself, which is only a basic editor with a pencil tool, a line tool and an eraser tool. To me it seems the maps I saw in the trailer have been made with other software and then imported. Another big downside is that this tool has clearly been designed with tablets in mind, it just doesnt translate to a pc screen. The tool drawer for example has to be expanded out before you can switch to a bigger or smaller pencil or color. Also, zooming and moving along the map is very unintuitive. There is also no tutorial or clear instructions included with the program, there is only an instruction manual which only explains what the functions do, not how to use them properly. All in all, if you want to use a program to easily create dungeons and maps, don't buy this, this program is quite frankly lacking in ease of use and explaining. If you check out the trailer, at the 2.20 mark you can see all the app really does. It takes the developer 1 minute to make a small room without any decorations (just the basic outline) and put two tokens in it. This is as deep as the tools go for this program. Tl;Dr: don't buy this.

В теории - это атлас карт для настольных РПГ. Т.е. мы любовно собираем набор карт городов, лесов и подземелий по которым бродят наши приключенцы, делаем заметки, добавляем NPC - вообщем, обычная DM'ская подготовка. На практике все не так увлекательно. Единственный плюс - поддержка русского языка для заметок. В остальном программа вышла сырая - хоть отжимай. Куцая функциональность, паршивый даже для планшетов интерфейс, редактор карт состоящий из двух состояний "рисуем линию\не рисуем линию", недоделаный импорт карт (я так и не понял, как наложить стандартную дюймовую сетку на импортированную из файла картинку), невозможность менять шрифты..., короче полный набор проблем за ваши же деньги. Если подытожить - пока не стоит тратить на эту поделку время. Подождите исправлений.

I bought this to help me run the several campaigns I DM regularly. Having tried to use it for a short while, I then got a refund. This application is not suitable for use on a PC. The UI is unoptimised, unintuitive and badly scaled for any screen larger that a tablet. The bulit in help is non existent and there are many other free tools online such as maptool or fantasymapbuilder that do the same job far better. Save your money.

Just wanted to put a note out there to say thanks and let you know that the app is working great for my group and my DMing needs! I use it through Steam on my MacbookPro, take my own TV to my friend's house and lay it out flat, then hook it up to AppleTV. We've been playing D&D in person for a couple years now, and I used to spend a small fortune on printed maps. No longer. We've been using InfinitasDM for a very long while now, and I can't tell you how much money it has saved me in the long run, nor how much we love the Fog of War feature (a little soft around the edges for my tastes, but meh, it works!) We don't use your tokens and instead use our own on the TV surface, but I have used the drawing tools and they're very handy!! I especially love that I can upload whatever jpg I want to splay across the screen--I've been able to upload monster imagery and player handouts so everyone can see all at once what they're up against and read things without having to pass things around. This was the interface I was looking for when I wanted to start using digital maps. I didn't want to use two computer screens and turn our gaming sessions into technological nightmares of set up--I originally used this on my iPhone, it was that simple. I'm beyond happy with what you've put together, and I hope it sticks around for a very long time. It has become a necessary and indelible part of our gaming experience, and I'd be hard pressed to replace it. I can't thank you enough for adding yet another level of categorization for file management--having 4 layers instead of 3 made a huge difference in how I prep my stuff each week. I know that happened a long time ago, but I'm just now getting around to posting... The only thing I would love is the capacity to import imagery into a layer over the top of the imagery already there, or be able to split the screen. I know that completely mangles the interface, but being able to see a pic of a monster in the corner of the screen could be really handy sometimes. I'm not sure, ultimately, whether I'm using your app the way you intended, but I have to say it is exactly what I needed regardless of its full capabilities. I can scroll through multiple desktops on my Macbook, using one for Infinitas DM and others for other programs or browsers (using it in conjunction with D&D Beyond, Kobold Fight Club, and a dice roller has literally Rocked. My. World.). I'm able to load pretty large images (in jpg only not jpeg--that makes a difference for some reason), and that means the quality of the picture for my players is just that much better when I zoom in (it's so cinematic when I do that--they love it!!). I don't have to use the tokens and the players feel more involved (thank-you for fixing the map-resizing issue when opening a different image--that one change saved us so much time re-positioning everything!!). We haven't played your downloadable adventures, but I appreciate that you've taken the time to create them. They're visually stunning!!! Someday!!! :) Thanks again for making this. My pocketbook, myself, and my group are very very happy. Weirdly, the quality of life has improved since I don't have to struggle so hard to prep--making analog out of digital was very time consuming... Thanks so much!!

I don't typically write reviews, in fact i think this is my first review. i kickstarted this app, and i have to say this is garbage. the pen writes in this weird sticky grid style where it seems like it wants to write straight, but then they also have a line tool? i was hoping they would have patterns or stamps of substance like houses or trees or mountains, or ANYTHING other than ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ skulls and arrows. it is not a good map making tool and its barely usable as a dungeon making tool. its worth noting that anyone interested in this game who doesn't know about roll20 please for the love of god check it out and buy that

The idea of this tool, and the cross platform integration is good, but the PC and Mac veresions have the exact same UI as the mobile versions of the tool. This makes it a pain in the a** compared with much more intuitive tools. The PC and Mac versions need a completee UI facelift to alow for more accurate setting up for users with mouse and keyboard on 27" displays rather than on a 10" touchscreen device.

1 - didn't deliver to all kickstarter backers 2 - clearly designed for tablets and PC port as an after thought.All controls are gesture based. if you don't have a touchscreen, don't buy. 3 - super unintuitive to use.

Wanted it to work quite badly. Can't create a new campaign as the "create" button seems to do nothing.

为了防止有像我一样英文没读明白的DM，特意来评 这里的输出给PC的显示，不是网络分享画面，而是硬件分享画面，意思是网团用不上了，带电脑&投影仪或电视的面团才能使用的功能。不过由于有很好用的FOG功能，对于有条件的用PS的土壕面团来说还是不错的替代品。 大约也可以带显卡的电脑接两台显示器，一台显示PC屏然后通过QQ/SKYPE/...分享屏幕来网团（我到底在说什么…… Token只有硬币样棋子，可以给地图导入图片，有一些STAMP和直线功能，其他都需要手绘，鼠绘渣渣哭着表示不如去买他家的IOS端APP用IPAD画，电脑上是否支持板子来画还没有试，哦，不对，可以画完再导入图片嘛。如果使用他家移动端包括IOS和安卓，分享PC屏幕时要通过ChromeCast……不过据说也支持airplay。 除了分享屏幕这点让我比较闹心以外，其他还是比较满意，毕竟没打算用这个记录遭遇和人物卡（国外评论好像对这一点比较不满），记录模组还是棒棒哒，支持中文输入，地图上有各种跳转和层次以及可以添加说明和NPC的快速链接标识特别好用。

This app has a long ways to go, but it's a good start. I was surprised by how slow and laggy it was to draw fog of war on. Even worse, there is no option to cover your whole map in fog of war. You have to do it manually, which is very slow and tedious. Also, there is no option to draw the fog of war in a square shape, only a circle. Why would you want to draw with a circle tool when the map is on a square grid? The user interface looks like a file browser, it makes the experience feel cheap. Overall, this thing is real clunky, but it can work in a pinch.
