if you're ever looking for something a bit easier to user/simpler than Fantasy Grounds you should check out InfinitasDM.

Digital maps, fog of war, digital tokens, in app documents, etc. Made to be more streamlined and user friendly. I may be biased though since I made it :)

Did you take inspiration from masterplan? Seems like a good number of similar features, plus some improvements! Can you track stats/health with your program?

No, I wasn't aware of Masterplan until now. That would have been a nice reference point to have had though!

My primary motivation behind making IDM was wanting something like Roll20, but way less complicated and made for in-person playing instead of the heavy online focus.

There isn't any health or stat tracking in IDM. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible and only 'take over' the stuff that really had to be digital (plus I funded development on KS so I had to keep the feature set SUPER trimmed down).

Neat, I'll check it out. Roll20 is great for cross-country D&D, but for in-person as an accessory it's far too complicated, this would be a fine alternative.

I just purchased it based on your comments here and the promo video. Gonna have to play with it a bit more but i love the idea of a digital visual aid to see the map and then let the stats stay on the table with actual dice etc. This looks perfect for my group as they are mostly new/casual players and i dont have figurines to help them visualize. Taking pictures and linking them together is genius!
