[QUOTE="wedgeski, post: 6575495, member: 16212"] Just as a side-bar to your question: I run a 5E game over Skype using nothing but web-cams and the ability to share my second screen with the group (helpful for maps, encounter scribblings, that kind of thing). We do all dice rolling using physical dice and trust...a risky proposition, to be sure, if we hadn't known each-other for thirty years! I have had complete and total success DM'ing theatre-of-the-mind style using the digital player maps available for [I]Lost Mine[/I], gradually uncovering the maps as the party goes. No Roll20 or any specific RPG tools required. We've all been pleasantly surprised by how well the game runs, and how close it actually gets to the table-top experience. Admittedly, the face that we're all long-term friends changes the starting point significantly, but I guess the point I'm making is that Roll20 might not be necessary, if you consider it in any way an impediment to progress.
