Introduction to Mapping - MapToolDoc Introduction First Things First: What is MapTool? Although you probably have an idea what MapTool is and does, I just want to take a moment to reinforce the main goal of MapTool: MapTool is a program that helps you share a "virtual tabletop" with your friends, so you can play games on it. That is what MapTool does, and its features are aimed at providing a continuum of options, from the simple to the complex, to achieve that goal. In all the talk of macros and properties and tables and scripting that will follow in this and other guides, don't lose sight of the reason you're checking MapTool out anyway: it's a way to play games with friends. About this Guide The purpose of this guide is not to delve into the seamy underbelly of MapTool's macro scripting system, lighting, properties, or any of that complex stuff. The following instructions should get you up and running with MapTool to use as a battle mapping/general mapping tool. You know how to create or get some map images. So here we go.
