[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 4775600, member: 12966"] We've had a few more sessions now. Tiffany had to miss a couple (work-related stuff) but she's back. So that gives us 3 local, 2 remote. So far the online sessions have worked pretty well. I'm much more familiar with MapTool than with Vent (the Vent client on the Mac is pretty basic) but I think I have the voip issues solved. Basically, I was running Vent both on a Windows laptop with condensor mic and on my Mac with a condensor mic. But that meant my voice went to the Vent server, then came back in and was played over the local speakers (for the players) about a half-second later -- very disconcerting! I now have the Windows Vent connection set to mute my voice and that seems to have fixed all of our issues. One of the players' new laptop didn't like my wireless network for some reason. I still don't know why, but something we did under Vista got it working so I'm not going to touch it to try to figure out what setting we changed! (His laptop could connect to the router, but his machine never received a DHCP lease. Weird.) We're using [b]lmarkus[/b]' campaign framework from the [url=http://forums.rptools.net/]RPTools forums[/url] because he has created a bunch of macros to manage a lot of the encounter details (combat, skill checks, saving throws, and so on). Combined with [b]IMarvinTPA[/b]'s database of monsters that can generate MapTool tokens on-the-fly from data in the SRD (!) the MapTool experience has been quite streamlined of late... (I consider 5 players to be a full group, so I won't be accepting new players at the moment. But if you want me to keep track of your interest, post a reply here and as openings come up I'll pull from this thread.) [/QUOTE]
