[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7296721, member: 6669384"] I've had two of my players attending the game via Skype for over a year now, and we just recently added a third. The first two share an apartment about an hour or so from my house, and neither one drives. (One is legally blind and the other has other issues of his own that aren't mine to discuss). The recent member lives a little bit past the other two. Because of the lack of physical presence the game lacks some immediacy for them. We have the camera set up at the end of the table, so they can see the board and most if not all of the players, and I have speakers hooked up to make sure we can hear them, but they're still getting less from the game than they should. At the same time, we're getting less as well. Well, less of them anyway. Does anyone have any ideas, technique or technology, than can help in this situation, or are remote participants just stuck in second class citizen roles? [/QUOTE]
