Your source for gaming maps and mapping objects

MapTool The jewel in the RPTools crown, don't let the name fool you. MapTool is much more than just a mapping program. Included are not only powerful tools for the creation of detailed maps, but also a chat function, detailed token management (allowing you to track properties of the units placed on the map and display health and status information), and an initiative tracker. Functions not being used can be hidden out of sight. The best part is all this isn't limited to a single PC. And we don't stop there! Most impressively, MapTool includes a tremendous macro function that allows you to automate just about any facet of your game that you wish. MapTool is open-source, and is actively contributed to by a large number of gifted persons. So don't worry. MapTool is powered by Swing Components from JIDE.

Animated stereoviews of old Japan 28 Oct 2009 In the late 19th and early 20th century, enigmatic photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. [Sumo wrestlers] A stereoview consists of a pair of nearly identical images that appear three-dimensional when viewed through a stereoscope, because each eye sees a slightly different image. This illusion of depth can also be recreated with animated GIFs like the ones here, which were created from Flickr images posted by Okinawa Soba.
