Awhile back I converted the RPG VT pages to a wiki, unfortunately this was abused as I foolishly made it an open wiki.

I have now got the bones of the site back up as a more "secure" wiki, and having more time available, and will be able to keep on top of the site.

Glad to hear you've locked it down a bit and will be devoting more time to keeping it current.

I'd like to join so I can contribute updates.

Ratings added, so go vote for Battlegrounds!

Is that really a Rating feature, or is that just going to basically count how many people use each VT?

Murgh Bpurn · Post by **Murgh Bpurn** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 5:59 pm

So, what's the difference?

Post by **heruca** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 6:11 pm

My concern is that if it's just counting users, the free VTs will obviously end up with a much higher count than the commercial VTs, and calling it a Rating would be misleading, since it implies that a higher score equates to a better quality product.

I believe it reflects what people are using, some people are always going to go with whats free, so yes there might be more people that use the free VTs.

Do you have any ideas for an alternative rating system?

How about a 1 to 5 star rating system, like this one?

Or the traditional 1 to 10 scale?

Yeah I was looking at the star rating, but couldn't find anything free to add to the site (it's not include with wikidot), will take another look.

Or just keep what you have and call it something like "Users" instead of "Rating".

How's that now?

(only changed on Battlegrounds atm)

Cool, you found a 5-star rating system!

I have sent out a list of questions to all the VTs on The VTs page and will post the answers over the next few weeks. The list of those that have sent in answers so far can be seen here.

The first to be posted is the MapTool Mini Interview.

I have also changed the voting widget, devinnight has provided the custom graphics and once this new rating overtakes the old, I will remove the old.

I am in the process of compiling a visual VT Comparison Chart and need screenshots to show off BG. heruca has already provided some, however I'm opening it up to the community.

The current headings are: Chat style, Dice Manipulation, Dice Output, Turn Manager, Character Sheet, Audio Player, Movie Output, Fog of War and Vision

I am making gifs for multiple images, if you have any suitable images then please forward to me.

Also if you can think of any other suitable headings then please let me know.
