Not ready for prime time – Battle Map 2 Review

I'm a lifelong rpg-gamer who loves mobile technology but let's be real here: the idea of this app greatly overshadows its reality. The iPad is too small and too unwieldy for the precision work of virtual tabletop gameplay. Using a desktop or laptop for a virtual tabletop is a vastly superior experience to Battle Map on an iPad. I applaud the efforts of the app creators for exploring a new frontier for keeping our beloved hobby alive, but a tablet (or, God forbid, a smart phone) is just plain the wrong venue. I live my iPad. It's hip, sophisticated, trendy, powerful, productive, and entertaining. But it's just plain the wrong device for virtual tabletop gaming.
