CONTROLS are listed by hitting the ESC key (while the HELP screen is visible, hit Q to Quit the program).
GM MODE - F5: GM Mode allows you to create/modify/erase backgrounds, and move/place new markers onto the board. Most of the time, there should only be one user in GM Mode.
DRAW MODE: In this mode, you can select a color, brush size, and begin drawing anything you like. Holding the SHIFT key will allow you to snap your lines to the game grid, so it's easy to create building maps.
DICE MODE: In this mode, you can roll the various dice (4-sided through 20-sided).
MARKER MODE: In this mode, you can name, color, move, or change the sprite of your marker. If you are in GM mode (F5), then you can also place new NPC markers by holding shift, and then clicking anywhere on the board.
Additional Notes:
* This program is made to supplement Pencil/Paper RPGs, and is not a standalone game (unless, of course, you enjoy simply drawing pictures online with friends). You will also need a means of communication (chat program or voice-conferencing) in order to role-play. I recommend Teamspeak or Ventrillo.
