InfinitasDM

I mean....I like it a lot...There are a few things. FINNICKY THINGS: -Clearing the map needs to be fixed. It changes the size of the map and it halves it every time you do it. -Sharing the secondary screen of the program is glitchy. When you click on the main screen, the sharing program will flick back on the main screen instead of the 2nd screen of InfinitasDM. (My solution to this is just sharing my Computer Screen instead of InfinitasDM) THINGS I LOVE- - Custom tokens is completely up to you - Can draw on the map with different colours and patterns - I really like the the status effects token. Alot of different choices - Being able to project the screen is really handy. Despite how finnicky, I still think it's a very important aspect.

Works great for my basic mapping and FoW needs.

Very Simple program for DM's to present maps with fog of war.

The controls aren't great. But its been great for the game I'm running as a I mostly only want to use it for Fog of war on our maps.

Pretty much unusable. Very hard to set up maps, difficult to run any kind of game with it.

Ein tolles tool für DM jedoch fänd ich es toll wenn man mehr mit der community machen könnte zB: der Steam workshop da könnte man dan tolle karten mit einander austauchen oder so ansonsten ist es schade das man nicht so einfach neue icons einfügen kann

Very friendly interface, easy to use on any system, can load your own Jpgs and play with the elements. Its been a good send for my Campaigns!

Good simple tool to display maps to players on a second screen.

This was really a thing that I was looking for my at the table group. Getting a program that help me splay a picture on a second monitor and manage the fog of war on it, being able to prep a map and put info on it and not be afraid that you're displaying some info that the players aren't supposed to know. Being able to see the GM version of the map on one screen and not having to glance at the player screen constantly and double check and make sure stuff. I use it with a laptop behind a gm screen, pen tablet for a mouse and second screen on a table placed screen up for player maps. There are few issues though: - A maximum image size for fog of war. If the source image is large enough the fog cannot be applied to entire map. This is not a huge deal but it would be nice to bring my players a large detailed image. - On my laptop I'm unable to write accurately with a pen tablet, I need to write/draw very carefully and deliberately to produce a good result. There is no support for pressure sensitivity and honestly this doesn't need it but it is odd that this sort of program can't draw well with a mouse or a pen tablet with a potato machine but otherwise it runs fine. This is not obviously problem on better machines. - UI isn't the best and takes some getting used to. I'd wish there was hotkeys to tools. Like E for Eraser and P for Pen. It would help out a lot. - Documents section could be better, my issue with it that I'm not always being able to write. I have to click it a bunch and sometimes it lets me write and other times it wont. Text formatting options would be nice, ability to bold text when you need to reference it in play would be nice. But I have a note book so it is fine. - Able to hide tokens would be cool. Placing a token and wanting to draw on the map is a bit of a pain. You gotta move the token to draw on it. A giant name plate doesn't really help either. Anyways this program is very niche, I don't recommend it for using for drawing maps but if you need to make a map in a pinch you can scribble something together quickly. But it is really nice at the table. Managing maps, placing information and fog of war, and managing encounters, making notes for yourself. It has really helped me prep a game for irl games as previously I had no tools for managing a hex crawl game. UPDATE: Replaced HDD on my laptop and it works better than ever. So there was something wrong with my hard drive. Ignore whatever I said about working bad on certain machines.

Been using this for several years for my gaming groups. I dual monitor a PC with a 32" flat screen that I have mounted by my gaming table and mainly use the fog of war for my maps. My players love it, and I think it easy enough to use for this purpose. It is easy to import maps from anywhere and use them.
