(I hope I'm putting this on the right board... Ah! there is also a tl;dr in the end of the post.)
So! Hello there, Playground. I'm a long time lurker that made an account some time ago, but did not use it a lot (2, 3 posts?). I'm back now, more mature and probably more able to help my fellow forumites. But today, I need your help!.:smalltongue:
I've been a DM for a long time. I'm currently writing a system and a setting (both you will soon see at the homebrew boards, once I translate from Portuguese to English.) And I'm facing a huge issue with my latest group.:smallfrown:
The group is composed by four members. One of them is my brother, Mauro, who can only use an Android-based tablet. The rest of the group have Microsoft Windows 7, and I have the luck to possess both.
Mauro is the one who convinced me to GM this campaign, and since he is my brother, I just cannot leave him out. Since our system of choice is a simple one (the Brazilian 3D&T Alpha, built around anime-based characters - I changed the feel to a high fantasy setting, nevertheless - and using a small range of d6s), and we decided to solve our different plataform issue using a common instant messenger (MSN, who is a still a hit around here), and "Outsourcing" the dice rolls.
When I say "Outsource", I mean that I'll be rolling the dice using a common dice roller in the internet, and sending them the log. That should work with a system that simple.
However, I'm not a big fan of 3D&T. I'd prefer Returner's RRPG, D&D3.5 or even GURPS or a homebrew form of Mouse Guard. But for those, I'm not sure I can take care off all those dice, and still keep the game fluid. So, I'm in need of a tabletop (much like roll20 or Fantasy Grounds) that could function in both Android and Windows operational system. Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance. Its a great honor to be out of the shadows again!:smallredface:
Tl;dr: Is there any virtual tabletop programs that work on both Android and PC?
