I'm going to be running some Google+ video chat sessions through the Caverns of Thracia module soon and I'm looking for a good program to let everyone roll dice and track things.
I tried dem bones as a dice rolling program but everything displays so big that even if you make things display smaller you get dice rolls scrolling down off the page way too fast.
I took a look at Roll d20 but seems a bit more feature heavy than I'm going for. I don't want to be giving them the exact map of the area (would make a module as twisty as Caverns of Thracia a bit too easy). Just want something pretty simple and bare bones that'll let me see a whole bunch of rolled dice at once in case I'm having everyone rolling a bunch of dice so I can keep track of everyone at once...
What's out there?
For dice rolling, nameplates, and stuff like that Dicestream does a good job.

We use Roll20. While it's feature rich, you can run it without a lot of those features. (I use it for Eclipse Phase, and honestly, I run a barebones operation.)
Roll20. It can be used with G+ for the audio/video feed. It's the nat's nasty!

That actually looks really nice and compact down the side. 9/10 would use again.
Hmmm Dicestream won't load for me. Rolld20 seems a bit too busy and feature heavy but looks like I'll be using that one as at least it's pretty clear and not stupid like Bones.
Only one of the PCs brought hirelings. This will be FUN :)
And luckily the PCs freed some slaves before they decided to charge head on at a gnoll patrol while first level, otherwise it would've been a TPK as it was they lost a freed slave, a hireling and a PC. Due to simultaneous initiative both the hireling and the PC killed a gnoll with their last dying breath.
They will learn, oh yes, they will learn.
