Battlegrounds: RPG Edition(aka BRPG) is virtual tabletop software for use with roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons, d20, GURPS, Rolemaster, FUDGE/FATE, Savage Worlds, Shadowrun, etc. It was released simultaneously for both Windows and Mac OS X, and supports gameplay in any genre, both online and offline.
Battlegrounds Gaming Engine (aka BGE)is virtual tabletop software for use with boardgames, wargames, card games, and dice games. It, too, will be released simultaneously for Windows and Mac OS X, in Q4 2010. It will be compatible with digital game conversions that are already available for BRPG, and will also allow you to create your own digital game conversions. Note that for user-created games, you will need to own a copy of the game you wish to play, and have access to a scanner to scan in its gameboards and counters, since these may not be distributed with the Battlegrounds gaming engine due to copyright limitations. See this forum thread for additional details.
