Unless I have missed it somewhere, grids for maps would allow me to use RW for battle maps instead of Maptools.
I just got RW a couple days ago and haven't been through all the manuals yet, so forgive if I have missed anything about displaying grids. |

Hex and square grids would be awesome. (Telling RW how big each hex/square is, and having each hex/square stay the same size would make it fantastic for projector displays...) Being able to uncover fog of world per hex/square would be great too, though not quite the same thing. Sleet was enjoying a tasty beverage at his local tavern, when a Tarrasque showed up in the local area. He managed to valiantly get on it's back and ride it. How he did it is a mystery to this day...

Hexes and grids aren't too important to me because I just add them in when I'm preparing the map for import into RW, but having square or hex shaped reveal brushes (and/or being able to select an area to reveal) would save me a lot of headache. |

I would like to dump roll20 for this. I realize it is a bit "remaking the wheel" and all that, but still. This software is awesome, anything that takes it more into a full service piece of equipment, the better. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!@ |

I already have the thin flat panel that the figures can be used on :-) |

This would be very helpful, especially the reveal by square/hex. |

Also the grid should have "reveal" properties, so as a GM I can choose to reveal the grid to my players. I may have an overland map where I track the bad guys stalking the party. I need to know how far away they are from the party, but I may not want the party to be distracted by the grid. |
