    What do you guys use to play online? Like do you use roll20, fantasy grounds, skype, or just discord and imagination?

    I played in an ICRPG game of Warp Shell that was on roll20, although the voice portion was on Discord. Currently I play in a game that uses Discord for voice, Zoom for video, and World Anvil to keep track of everything.

    I use discord for game talk and roll20 for visuals.

    I'd love to use Fantasy Ground, but I'd love something that would let me put a map with tokens and let players move theirs. That's all I need/want

    Roll20 and Jitsi (not crazy about Jitsi, though)

    I think I'm gonna play C&C online as I've gotten used to Fantasy Grounds, and it's all set up for that, thought I'd love to be able to run S&W complete online.

    JesseQ and I are having a discussion about this right now. Are you interested in running a one off for the Gamer+ If You Play You Win actual play podcast.

    I'm not opposed. Need to have something to run, lol.
    hairylarry
    Sep 8 '19
    Yeah, that would be your choice. What game, setting, module, % winging it.
    hairylarry
    Sep 8 '19
    Also your choice on day of week and time of day. There is no regular schedule. Each game is a one off with rotating DMS. I will set up a folder where you can upload pregens and other player assets.

    What is the link to your podcast? What do you write? I'm just full of questions.

    Hi Larry, thank you for your message! My podcast is at https://anchor.fm/lieren and I mostly write erotica :-)

    I am listening. I just got up to the part where you're going to a game. I was kind of hoping you wrote the other kind of fantasy.

    Thank you :-) I may be writing fantasy for National Novel Writing Month this year!

    You have more grit than I do. I just write Super shorts and modules. Novels sound like a lot of work. I like to start a project and finish it, like now. I will be glad to read your fantasy novel, or even a few chapters if that would be helpful.

    Last year was the first time I made it to 50,000 words and this year I hope to write something that's actually comprehensive :-)

    I want super blunt criticism. I am going to post some art and I want to know if you would be disappointed if you got an OSR product with this art?

    The monster is the most polished. The Wizard works the best, that is, tells a story. The elf is a sketch. I don't think they all go together in one product. I think any of these would be fine grouped with other art in a matching style.

    Being unable to find an all-in-one VTT that handles games the way I run them, I'm looking at using multiple services. One upside of it is that we don't have to pay for any of these services.

    Discord for chat (text, video, voice)
    Miro for shared whiteboard/tabletop
    Watch2Gether for atmosphere/music

    Having not been able to find a die roller that's transparent enough, dice will be handled by everyone rolling their own dice. Crazy, right?

    What a concept! People playing DnD rolling their own dice.

    Miro - https://miro.com/ The free tier does seem to have gaming needs covered.
    hairylarry
    Aug 29 '19
    https://www.watch2gether.com/ This is cool. I'm setting up a shared video room for Gamer+.
    JesseQ
    Aug 29 '19
    yeah, Miro lets me scrawl notes and leave them where everyone can see them, which is much more important to me than a battlemap with fog-of-war that calculates flanking bonuses or whatever.

    One suave thing that I figured out is leaving a little radio on the Miro desktop, so the players can click it and listen to the music that I've already got playing on my YouTube playlist via Watch2Gether - and control their own volume and such, unlike some of the Discord music-bots.

    The only real limitation (that I've found) on the unpaid tier for Miro is capping at three boards. If you need more that that, I envy you, but you could probably get the other players to create boards.
    hairylarry
    Aug 29 '19
    Optimally you would have one board so everyone would be watching the same board. I haven't used Miro much and never for gaming so I may be missing something. Watch2Gether has a webcam option so you could display a map with that and use Miro for writing stuff.
    JesseQ
    Aug 29 '19
    Oh, yeah. The only real reason I could see needing more than one board is if you're running more than one game - so if you need more than three? I envy your problems.
    hairylarry
    Aug 29 '19
    I also think a way to distribute documents like pre-gens or monster stats would be good. Miro probably has that covered.

    Aug 29 '19
    If you're interested in trying this I'm wanting to setup up some actual play on Gamer+.
    JesseQ
    Aug 29 '19
    yeah, you should be able to drag-and-drop from your desktop to the whiteboard.

    There's a few nuanced things like drawing an area for each player to reference (since you can't put it in front of them), as well as "stacking" elements to handle as a single unit.

    Discord has a dice bot called Dice Maiden.
    JesseQ
    Aug 30 '19
    oh, there are a handful of dice bots - but they have a tendency of not really getting out of the way of the game - at least the way I want it to run.

    It may be a bit system specific, but I like to have a bit of back-and-forth conversation, while dice are being drawn and replaced, until it's time to roll everything.

    Most online rollers use a standardized format of /r 2d6+1. Simple, intuitive. But it slows me down, gets in the way just enough that I'd really rather just roll physical dice.

    I'd like to see something where I can basically click a die in the UI to add it to my hand before casting them collectively. In multiple colors, with multiple die types.... Yeah, might be picky about it, but real physical dice do the job. Rolegate actually gets the closest to what I want, but they're not really set up for real-time play.

    I really do like the tactile element of rolling dice myself.
