[QUOTE="glass, post: 8274768, member: 12251"] In the before times, we had one player who sometimes had to be remote due to transport issues. We used Skype set up at one end of the table with the GM at the other and the meat-space players on either side in between. Usually, we used an iPad - made it easier to pick up and point at the battle map when necessary. That player's transport issues have got a little worse (in that I am not able to offer him a lift any more since I changed jobs), plus we have another couple in one of the games who are going to be remote when the rest of us resume face-to-face gaming, since they have had a new baby in the meantime. And we picked up a new player in the other game who lives too far away to commute on a week night. We have been using Discord during lockdown, so whether we continue to use that or revert to Skype remains to be seen. I guess it depends on how easily/reliably we can get video working in Discord (we have not bothered with video during lockdown). _ glass. [/QUOTE]
