Don't worry, Req, bby. I couldn't join anyways since leaving in a bit more than a month. But when I get back, I'll be sure to kick Druby off of the game and take his place <3
D&D 5th Edition - Skype + Roll 20
- Thread starter Jeroth
- Start date
Arguably pretty worthwhile, since it's tended to be quite amusing.
Yeah, but then people can see my secret DM screen stuff. Unless, I start writing it down in a notebook. Maybe.. Maybe..
Or use some special streaming software.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "stream" but OBS (Open Broadcast Software) allows you to stream to most popular services and just send a static image as the video feed.
If you're feeling frisky and you have two screens you could show cool relevant stuff on the second screen for viewers or something.

Huh. Duly noted. I typically use livestream pro caster for the typical stream, but it requires me to share my screen at the time.
Hah, sadly, I only have one screen. Still, I may try and stream it. The next session should be fun too.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they got a good preset for that.
Nope. It's typically impromptu and between 8-10 PM EST. I did state that the communication channel would be Skype and it says that you've been online. You've missed out on a lot - we've made characters, developed stories and the party is on the cusp of being level 6 right now.
You missed a ton of carousing.
Could probably notify you via the site, say, an hour in advance each time. That's usually about as early as we start coalescing if we're available.
You can remove the Windows 8 Skype app and just install the old-fashioned skype program in its place, though. I did that.

Lots of carousing.
Yeah, I assume so. You've been online for a few calls and I went out of my way to call you during the character creation & background development session. I'm not entirely certain how to include you now due to the disparity in levels, so I'll need to think on how that will be done.
EDIT: If you still wanted to play, you'd be playing against dangerously high CR encounters, but that's the way it goes.

Nah. I don't let anyone start with the rest of the party. They need to learn the school of hard knocks starting at level 1.
People who actually showed up don't have sixth-level characters - including, for that matter, the highest-level players.
It does also seem to me that the levels don't make quite as big of a difference in this edition compared to... well, compared to Pathfinder, I guess, based on my "I-once-did-Pathfinder." In any case, leveling up should be relatively quicker, due to the lower exp requirements, when surviving the same encounters? (We haven't been formally tracking xp, honestly.) Also, we may not be all that much running the game for the next week or so anyway, since I'm going on vacation. (I'm not, anyway.)
Just thoughts, if the effort is seen fit to be made. A population of three can seem kind of scarce at times.
