Community Sites

The real strength of RPTools is the user community. The links below are examples of the hard work RPTools users put into making life easier for others.

  • Forums – Fantastic place to rub elbows with other RPTools junkies, or ask questions on how to do specific things, or get your networking up and running.
  • Discord – A site and app for live text chat with the RPTools community. You can also host voice chat for your games.
  • MapTool Wiki – A great place to dig into MapTool at a technical level and learn to code in MTScript to create your own gaming frameworks
  • RPTools Facebook Page – Connect with other MapTool users on Facebook
  • MapTool Subreddit – The Reddit MapTool community. You might also enjoy the VTT Subreddit.
  • JDRVirtuel MapTool Subforum – a French bulletin board dedicated to MapTool moderated by Booga (from the RPTools forums, above)
  • www.drachenzwinge.de – We’re told this site is great for German speakers and includes a TeamSpeak server (but we don’t speak German, so…)
