RGG v1.50 "Mystery crept nearer from every side"

https://github.com/Doctus/randomgamegenerator

Introduction

  RGG is a whiteboad client, primarily designed to facilitate play of
  traditional pen-and-paper role-playing games online, although it's
  usable for a variety of other types of board games and similar
  purposes.

  Releases are generally stable. The current development snapshot
  is not guaranteed to be stable, but often fixes bugs present in
  the most recent release, so consider trying it out.

  You need an open port to host. Make sure your firewall and router
  allow inbound connections for RGG's port. You don't need to worry
  about this if you're just joining a friend's game; only one person
  has to have the port open so s/he can host. The default port is 6812.

  You'll probably want to place some of your own "pogs" (images) in
  the data/pogs folder for use during the game. Most file types are
  supported, although jpg may not be under Windows. Similarly, you can
  put portrait images in data/portraits - the same disclaimer applies.
  Pogs you place and portraits you use will automatically be transferred
  to other players to whom you're connected.

  If you have any questions or comments, or if you want to ask about
  contributing to the project, you can probably contact us most easily
  by e-mail or in one of these places:
