The gist was: Don't try to use all of a virtual tabletop's features right out of the gate. There's too much to learn, and a lot of the features are unnecessary anyway. You can get by using just the dice-roller. Once you (and your players) become more comfortable with the interface, you can slowly add in more features.Also, my groups use Discord for voice chat and Roll20 for the VTT. When I run games, I have the adventure book on my desk, a tablet with my campaign notes on it in my lap, a glass of water, and a Blue Yeti microphone. For comfort, I use an adjustable standing desk (so I can switch between sitting and standing).Playing online does make some parts of DMing more difficult (reading the table, an important DMing skill, is much harder when you can't see players' faces and body language (we play without video)), but I get a lot of enjoyment out of playing online.</blockquote>
