When running a web forum game of an RPG that requires miniatures (such as D&D 4e), what's the most elegant way to handle a combat grid?
In particular:
- Players should be able to change the map without DM present (employing group initiative and "players roll all the dice" rules, so the game doesn't lag waiting for any one player or the GM)
- It doesn't matter whether the graphics are fancy or low-tech, as long as it's a combat grid of some sort (as opposed to minis-free alternative)
