I've tried a few virtual tabletops, and I personally think Maptools is the best (certainly the best free one)

You can setup dice rolling macros (so once you setup the macros you can roll 1d6, 2d6, 3d6, 4d6, etc etc etc with one button)
(for something like wushu where your not totalling it you can setup a macro like

Code: [Select]

[1d6] : [1d6] : [1d6] : [1d6]Which would show you each dice roll instead of adding them like just [4d6] would)

For games like Wushu where tactical movement isnt really a concern, you can just use the map area to show pictures setting up the scene.  And for games like DnD where tactical movement is a concern then you can use it as a map with fog of war, vision, light etc.

I dont know, the whole "they might attack the royal family" thing is probably just a cover.

Even when you're He-Man there are times when you just dont want to deal with people's shit.  Plus YOURE always the target, even if you're invincible that shit would get old.

So you turn back into the guy who nobody gives a shit about, the bad guys dont care enough to attack you, and the good guys think you're pathetic and weak and won't constantly come bitching to you with their problems.

I mean sure, you can't pull in the pussy quite like He-Man could, but you're still a prince and thats gotta count for something, and you dont have to always worry about whether its Evillyn (or worse) in disguise and you get woken up by a magic sword hacking at your he-men.

Well, I suck at writing, and dont really know much frank miller, but whatever:

Jesus was still barely cold after waking up from his slumber, his supposedly eternal slumber, but his work wasnt done yet and death couldn't stop him, he was the Goddamn God incarnate.  These fucking Romans really pissed him off this time.  The veil of death was nothing to him, and so the veil of the temple wasn't either, and he tore that bitch in two, from the top to the bottom, and his fury reverberated over the land, shaking the earth like a motherfucker.
These rooster-headed bastards wanted him dead, well they got it, but he was back, and he decided to bring some friends back with him.  Graves were opened, and the dead were roused, brought into service under Jesus' command, his own zombie army, he sent them to the holy city to prey upon the people there.  They wanted death, they got it.
Jesus turned his gaze on a centurion and his posse, it pierced his very soul, and the zombies started for him, but Jesus' stopped, and as the earth shook he fixed his icy gaze on the centurion and shouted "WHO AM I, BITCH!?", the centurion thought he was top shit around these parts, but now he was just shitting himself, "The son of God! Please don't hurt me!"  Jesus thought it was hardly worth killing this chicken shit, there were barely enough brains in him for the zombies to snack on, "THEN GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN, ASS! TELL THEM JESUS IS BACK, AND HE'S PISSED" (Matthew 27:51-54)

The Goddamn God was laying down the law, these fucking Isrealites needed him to guide them every step of the way like babies, specially the fucking women, they were all either whores, or whores too ugly to be whores.  But they belong to their father, and a man has to protect his investment, so if a man comes across a "virgin" who isnt pledged to be married and rapes the shit out of her and the bitch wont shut up about it and someone hears, he owes the father 50 shekels of silver, and since he broke it, he bought it, he's gotta marry her and can't divorce her no matter what, that'll show him. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)

Judah felt the Goddamn God surging through him and his men, and they slaughtered all that were before them, they carved their way through inhabitants of the mountain, staining the mountains red with the blood of their enemies, for God was with them, and he wasnt to be fucked with, not this day.
Reveling in his victory over the mountain men, Judah knew God's thirst for blood wasn't sated, for he knew it never was, never can be, so he directed all the fury of the Goddamn God into the inhabitants of the valley, throwing at them every ounce of power he and God could muster.
But these were no lay down Sally's, these motherfuckers had chariots made of iron, and God hates that shit, Judah couldn't drive them out, not even with the Goddamn God on his side, so his bloodlust will go on to eat away at him.
God didnt need this shit, fucking chariots, fucking Judah, so he went and got a whore. (Judges 1:19)
