This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

  • They will all be in a single place. I'll be on their big-ass 4k TV.
  • I want minimum fiddle.
  • What are the best options: Google Hangouts? Skype? Other?
  • I'm fine with using real dice on the honor system.
  • How can I stream audio? Best options?
  • Roll20 or ?

That's about it. What are your best practices for those that do this stuff? This is my trial run.
There is no saving roll for that situation, unfortunately. Expect to miss out on a lot of the game while the other players ignore you.

Quote from: estar;934096And just for the record I find conversations like this insanely cool. Like shit damn, I was playing with toys in the 70s pretending stuff like this was future tech. And not only we have a lot of it for real, we have to figure out which way to do it due to all the choices. If somebody said to me in 1975 when I was ten that I would be talking about stuff like this in the way we have been, I would have said baloney. Hell in 1980 I would still would say something similar except I learned to say bullshit by then.

I've never felt this more strongly than now. It's pretty crazy. But here we are (and obviously I'm *way* late to this party). I knew it was a matter of time. I'm laughing at the idea of me being this big head on that TV... I need to get a GM crown.
