Show Notes

Roll20.net
Donn doesn't like online gaming because he feels like he has to spend too much time setting these up.
Online gaming tools have to support on-the-fly gaming and improv style
Adam preemptively makes useful macros& conflict maps/mats to improv conflicts

Wayne usesTwiddlain hangouts instead

Infinitas DM + a big screen TV laid down with a sheet of acrylic over top = Dan's ideal gaming set up (andAdam plans on making it happen)

Make the things you need for your game, share the things you make. Basic DIY ethics.

None of us had usedFantasy Grounds orMapTool or any of the otherRoll20 alternatives, Dan has reservations about complete rule integration inFantasy Grounds.Adam doesn't appreciate the $$$ barrier to entry.
