[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 8079421, member: 6669384"] I miss the ability to side-chat. My group meets via Discord. Despite what's said about it, that you can have a group dice-roller, that only works in the text-chat, not in video. One problem is, if any of us tries to make a side comment to another player, it booms through the whole group. We have two players who share an apartment. One is legally blind and the other is partially deaf. The partially def guy sits near the screen so he can see the action (I have my camera trained on the battle mat more than on me, and I move the figs as directed.). When these two talk "amongst themselves", the hard-of-hearing guy's voice walks over everyone else. He's right by the microphone. Other side chatter, which was half the fun of the get-together, just has to stop. We know that we can't, out of consideration to others. Small notes: I've observed that lines drawn on the battle mat are really hard to see on camera. I suggest you get a handful of pencils or dowel rods that you can paint black. Something to lay down. I have some stonecast walls of an appropriate scale that I use. That, a bag of lichen and a few trees for outdoor scenery, and I can paint most scenes. As an observation: The camera view can only cover a stretch of battlefield of maye 2 ft by 3 ft. That limits game scale too. I could pull the camera back, but then we lose the detail. Ah well.
