[QUOTE="SuperGnome, post: 4709397, member: 17297"] Klooge isn't free for the players unless the DM buys licenses, just to clarify. I actually do use Klooge (currently to play, but i have run games in the past) and find it fantastic. I found this thread because I too am thinking about working in a webcam to my tabletop game. I don't want everyone at the table looking at screens, I want them just playing D&D old school. Paper, books, dice, etc... That rules out klooge in this case for me at least. The webcam would fit in for an avatar of sorts of those who can't make the drive for whatever reason. It would result in a near transparent remote player. We all talk, look at the battlemap, and play. Heck, the remote dude(s) can point a cam at their dice when they roll! As for cams: I have a couple cheap cams that work... well, cheaply I guess. Some other options are Logitech Quickcam Orbit AF or Creative Live! Motion. You can actually remotely control these via the web (the Logi requires 3rd party software like the free eyespyfx). The Logi is apparently far superior for image quality, and works great in low light. The Creative is subpar for the price, but apparently includes remote control software. You then could have the remote player looking around the table, zooming in, etc... I love that idea, but the price of admission is rather high. [/QUOTE]
