If i could get a hang of all the macro and shortcut keys and automation it would actually be faster than in person.
I'm good with the shortcut keys but don't have any macros so far. The thing that slows me down is the interface with the token/map library. Many of my maps are too hi-res so I have to downsample them. Organization in terms of folders is a bit of a pain, too. I'd like to be able to just upload my entire local folder structure (I have thousands of tokens and maps), but there's no way to do that.
Last night's session, though, felt more like a regular face-to-face game than I was expecting. I had to call a quick break at one point when they ended up doing something entirely unexpected and I needed to gather a few more graphic resources. But we all needed to stretch anyway.
That's another thing... holy moly did I feel stiff afterward! At a F2F game, I'm always walking around the table and run the game mostly standing up. Sitting hunched over my laptop for four hours was awful. Maybe I should investigate wireless headsets so I can at least get up and pace around the room. Heh.
