[QUOTE="Dragoslav, post: 5867599, member: 6690267"] The bullet points from tonight: -Overall, everyone thought it worked well, even though everyone was very skeptical at first. -The remote player reported having trouble making out the minis and tiles. We had the webcam pinned up to a glass so that it was above the battlefield but very close to it, and the video was CRYSTAL CLEAR as I could see it, but she insisted that it was blurry on her end, leading me to believe that it was just a problem with video quality dropping because it was over wireless or whatever. -I am DEFINITELY going to try the two-webcam solution proposed by Steel_Wind. Fortunately, our DM and his wife say they have a microphone stand, so that will probably work. We'll have one webcam pointed down at the battlefield and one farther back showing the whole group, so that when the battle starts the remote player isn't just staring at the battlemat for the next hour+ while the rest of us gesticulate wildly and vaguely indicate things that the remote player can't currently see. Overall, it could have gone much better, but everyone was encouraged to continue working with it, which pleases me. [/QUOTE]
