Features:

• Create your own Plugin-Sets (combine various Plugins to use them toegether for a specific system or group)
• Save/Load scenarios (Add all the resources you need for your next gaming session and save it as a �Scenario�, so you can load it easily)
• Generic Plugin: ImageViewer (manages a list of images and shown them on a 2nd screen, for example a projector; Also has the capability of drawing onto a picture and move tokens around on it, especially usefull for maps, as it also includes the possibility of using a �fog of war� to hide the parts of an image/map that players should not yet see)
