With NYS basically telling everyone to stay inside and not visit, the game meetings we had regularly can't happen.

So last night, we decided to try gaming using Discord.

It worked very well, especially with the added dice-roller bot to help. The voice connections were a bit flaky but the fact that you could
immediately clarify with text when needed took care of that.

I think we'll try another session tonight!

We've been using Roll20 with Discord for the audio portion.
More details to come in anorther thread.

Every American should want President Trump and his administration to handle
the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who seem eager
to see the president fail and to call every administration misstep a fiasco risk letting their partisanship blind them to the demands not only of civic responsibility but of basic decency.

I'm in a group that plays 3.0/Cyberpunk on alternate weeks, we're using roll20 for maps and other things and zoom for audio

I'm running a mutants and masterminds campaign over Discord, it's going pretty well considering I've got pretty severe hearing loss from bilateral Menieres disease

I noticed that Roll20 now can handle the dice mechanics for ShadowRun.
I'm tempted to introduce my group to that game, now that we have a lot more spare time on our hands.
