Thankfully, out of the ~4 laptops lying around, one of us had one with a built in webcam. We connected to our out-of-state friend using Skype, and aimed the webcam at the battle mat, so he was able to get a rough view of everything. Using skype and the camera/microphone built into the laptop, we were able to all talk freely as if he was in the room <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />As far as dice rolls, we basically just trusted him to be honest with them. He's not the type to fudge his die rolls. Though the video feed of the mat wasn't the best, I did send him a spoiler-free version of what the map looked like. We kinda did this impromptu, but I used a slightly modified delve from Dungeon Delve so I was able to just take the pic out of the PDF.For running his character, I'm not sure exactly what was used on his end, but I'm assuming it was primarily looking at the sheet from the character builder. Setting up something like that webpage might still be pretty useful to him, but he'll be playing from home so it's not as big of a deal. I think the nicest part of the webpage is having everything where you can move it around easily, along with being able to update the map on the page.</blockquote>
