If you are in the market for lightweight tool for helping you run RPGs online, you might be interested in Roll For Your Party!

Features:
* Just point anyone you want to join to the same URL - no logins necessary.
* You can move the dice around and everyone will see you doing so!
* ROLL ALL THE DICE!!! Support for all standard sized dice, DCC dice (click the checkbox for “funky dice”), and arbitrary die sizes (XdY) (plus support for modifiers)
* Tokens: doubleclick (aka reroll) them to mark them (or change to white color), do it again to undo.
* Playing cards: deal out playing cards openly, or use the “hidden draws” feature to have them hidden from all other users until you select and reveal them.
* Labels: want to label someone’s set of dice? Want to notate someone having a Condition? Create a label!
* Images: want to have pictures of your characters or a map to move tokens around on? Do it.
* Want to use your own set of cards? Float over the “Add custom set” button for info on how to do it.
* Clocks! Running a game for a bunch of scoundrels and you want to make sure they know how much progress they are making on something? Give em a clock. Scoundrels love clocks. (Click to advance, long press to roll back.)
* Safety Tools! Buttons for using John Stavropoulos​' X-Card and Brie Sheldon's Script Change tools (Give a reason, or don’t - but all other browsers will be alerted - and no one has to know who did it.)
* If you are wondering about how something works - float your mouse over the button and wait for the informational tooltip!

  1. Thanks, Shane. I've been following the work on RFYP for a while, but I wasn't aware of all the latest features.
    I have to give it a try for a game now!
