This is cool - how successful do you folks find your games to be, running over the net? And which applications are best for it? I've been considering this for a while, 'cos lots of my mates are scattered around the country (further, actually: one of my WoW friends lives in Austria, and I know she's a keen roleplayer as well).
Chatting over Skype, Ventrilo, or Teamspeak isn't a problem; most of my friends play WoW with voice chat anyway, so I can use that.
The things I'd like to find would include:
1. A *very* simple mapping application (you need a CAD degree to build dungeons in the Neverwinter Nights editor), preferably something which can function almost as easily as a battlemat: a virtual equivalent of write-on, wipe-off, with movable sprites for the characters and monsters, etc (they really don't have to be all that detailed). I never use really detailed maps anyway, just sketches so the players have a reasonable idea what they're looking at.
2. Shared dice rolling software, so everyone can see what's been rolled.
3. File transferring software so players can pass me copies of character sheets, etc. (I can just use MSN Messenger for this, but it'd be convenient if it's all in one place.)
I don't ask for much, do I?
