Do you support something akin to Maptools?

The real time interaction, isn't a goal of this. The exact details of the battlemap, aren't worked out either.

We'd like for GM to draw a Map, with placing tilesets. We dont know how many maps a GM can have for their game. At least one.

Player's character Avatar will hopefully be applicable to the battle grid. (And if posable Avatars are in, you'll be able to pose your avatar on the battle map.)

Placement History, so GM can review everyone placement, and previous turns.

You'll probably have your Character Note space on the Battlemat UI screen.

This idea is very much in its infancy.

Another possibility is that of a modular GM page for each game, with helpful things like a customizable dice roller, list of topics, updates, battlemat moving, character sheet storage, etc. I think of it as a sort of iGoogle combined with Maptools tools/macros combined with Mythweavers.

Of course, I realize that something like this would only be implemented late-stage, if ever.

Just my two cents.

Improve polls: A pre-set allowing the GM to easily set it so every active player can be voted on, lock it to only being available to the players for that thread, and make it easy to see who's voting for who. Have an in-thread method of voting which both changes the poll and is obvious.
Also, have the capability for multiple polls up at the same time and an option for player created polls.
