Online battle grids?

[Talya]

I'm running a PBP campaign on another board.

I'm looking for an easy way to post combat maps. Anybody have suggestions?

You could use something like OpenRPG.

Or if it is just for the map there is many sites that allow you to upload images?

I'm perpetually working on one that runs in your browser. It creates and embeds an svg image in the window and manipulates it with javascript. Image manipulation and chat messages are to be passed around with ajax, but I haven't gotten that far yet (I'm trying to work out way to do chat type stuff without checking if there are new messages once every second).

It's still pre-alpha, but you can check it out here. Firefox only! (There's a good reason for Firefox only - svg support. While other browsers _can_ do it or have plugins for it, no other browser supports it as well as firefox. I don't have the free time to make this thing cross browser so I went with the best one that works on linux, mac, and windows.)

I know this cool site for easy click-and-create insta battle-maps that is stored online. I can give it to you once I get home from work. In the meantime, what is this other board? :) I'd love to be in one of your games if you have any openings.

How fast do PBP campaigns tend to "move"? I have no experience with them, but it seems like it'd be relatively slowly compared to in-person or online (over OpenRPG or the like). If things moved slowly enough, you might be able to put the map as an image file in the original post, and just edit the post to upload a new one when something changes. If it works, it'd be fairly easy...albeit probably a real pain in the a**

MapMagical is simple, quick, and gets the point across.
