What is Battlemat?
Battlemat is a simple, fast, and easy-to-use virtual tabletop for tactical roleplaying games. It gives Dungeon Masters and players a privately shared online space to build maps, run encounters, and keep play moving. DMs can work directly on the mat or use plain-language text or voice commands to create and edit the battle mat. Battlemat takes you from idea to a playable scene in seconds, not minutes or hours. Many virtual tabletops try hard to look and feel like a video game. Battlemat is not like that. Battlemat respects the art of offline tabletop gaming and brings the essentials in a clean, no-nonsense, tasteful way.
