[QUOTE="transtemporal, post: 6576391, member: 6777693"] Not really. A VT is more to communicate where everyone is on a map, or at least thats how I've used Roll20 and the old WoTC virtual table. For presence, I use a web cam and video skype with the VT on my other monitor (or at least I did before I moved). That way I can stand up and move around. It doesn't flow quite as well, because occasionally I have to grab the mouse and move monsters around, so theres a few seconds between the description and "the reveal" if you like. If its a simple encounter, I just describe it. I don't try to simulate it in the VT. If you absolutely need to have gridded encounter, you can whip up a simple map in a couple of minutes but thats a couple of minutes where the groups attention might wander...
