Greetings! For the past couple of months, I've been working on a homebrewn RPG System. I eventually tired of drawing 2D maps on graph paper, so I put my Computer Science degree to use, and made a Virtual Tabletop to make my life easier!
It's now at the point that I feel it can make others lives easier, so I'm sharing this program with all of you!
Presenting, the RING Visualizer!

This program is in an !!Alpha!! state, and is rather rough around the edges.
That said, it is totally usable if you're looking for an easier way to keep track of characters on your tactical battle grids. (I display it on a large TV when my group is playing)
I've included some example maps and "Adventures-in-Progress" so you can dive right in and begin fooling around.
