[QUOTE="Whaleman, post: 8446150, member: 7032936"] As to vetting players for online the problem is that these people are my friends (again to me this is every bit about the social aspect as much as the game). I played with them in person before the pandemic. It feels messed up to tell them no you cannot keep playing with us while we are playing online but we are going to keep playing. Of course I make use of heavy youtube resources to make maps. I can punch out maps much faster adding the lighting to them now. I still have to find the art for the map and I still have to add the lighting. For NPCs I still have to either type in for the roll or create an entire sheet for them where before I could simply roll a d20 knowing the mod. My NPCs before were mostly the important bits and not fully sheets or I would just use a stat sheet that seemed appropriate. To be clear I absolutely make us of the internet. I have never run a game without my laptop at hand. I am not sure what you mean TheSword. I use Discord for all voice? I use Roll20 purely for the visual aspect. People are struggling to run either (mostly Roll20). I am not sure if you are referring to some trick with Discord.
