[QUOTE="jcayer, post: 7651059, member: 76960"] It certainly has its challenges. We have one player who used to travel more than 50%. His travel has slowed, but a new member of the group has a hard time making it, so he's remote most of the time. As the GM, I know I have to listen for when he has something to say, and make sure I interrupt the other players so he has his say. But he definitely gets left out from time to time. Even with just about everything on screen, he still misses stuff. Ultimately, it is his choice. He lives about 30-40 minutes from where we play, so it's not like we're three states away. When his turn is coming up, we often have to highlight the details of what's going on since it is hard from him to get everything. Part of that is the fact we only have one mic that we put in the middle of the room. Soft talkers are hard for him to hear. We've been playing 5 years and have gone through numerous iterations of remote play and this is the best we've come up with. The only way it has been better is when we use an old star phone I have, but I feel bad locking up the phone line all night, leaving my wife cut off from the outside world. [/QUOTE]
