I'm working on a framework for playing WFB on Roll20. Roll20 already has a lot of things going for it:

  • Ability to group tokens and rotate them freely
  • Ability to use real-world measurements like inches
  • Ability to create your own tokens as necessary
  • Macros, if that pleases you
  • Logged dice rolling with target numbers and labels

A few challenges:

  • Getting the maps up. The standard playing area is generally 6' x 4' or so. Easily within limitations, but can be difficult to view at times due to assumptions of how Roll20 expects to be used.
  • Wheeling, a common maneuver, is difficult to perform correctly.
