[QUOTE="BlackFire1967, post: 9518405, member: 7048066"] I am an ancient TTRPG gamer (I started with the Holmes Basic Set LOL) and I would really love to play again. Alas, all of my friends have gone their separate ways long ago and I have no one to game with any longer. I have attempted to find local players, but none have worked out. That being the case, I thought I would put my toe in the water of gaming online. I am not a technology illiterate but I am not exactly up to date on the latest and greatest either. So here are a few questions that I hope you good people could help me answer: [LIST] [*]I know I need a VTT, but I am not interested in D&D Beyond. I have nothing against 5E but it is just not the game for me. What other VTT is the most popular. [*]I also know I will need some kind of webcam for video. I do not want to use the one on my laptop because it just is not very good. What kind of webcam or camera can I get (for a reasonable price) that would have good resolution, depth of field, etc.? [*]I know I need audio. Should I use headphones or not? I am not a fan of them but what other options do I have for a reasonable price? [*]What application is most popular for video chat? I would like to have at least four players on the screen at one time. I have a 27" monitor is that big enough. [/LIST] I appreciate any help with this. It would make an old man's day!
