Assumes you communicate publically with the whole group in another way.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ability to maintain multiple campaigns and keep them separete, with access control to who can see what and object permanence.  So say we have a group of players.  GM 1 rund campaign A, and B..  In campaign A players 1, 2, 3, 4 are playing and in campaign B players ,1,2, 3, 5 is playing etc, so you need to keep them separate..</li> </ul>Useful stuff, but not needed.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Voice channel(s). Other things like Discord handles this niche.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Text-channels that everyone can see, and use.  Can be used to have out of game-discussions etc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ability to upload character files, preferrably with a version control system, so you after every session can upload the latest version of the character sheet.  Gets rid of "I can't find my character..."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ability to have fog-of-war on maps.</li> </ul>Luxuary stuff:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dice rolling</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Background sounds</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tools for helping create digital character sheets</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tools to help enforce the rules, as like automatically calculating damage for weapons.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Video channels if you want to see the face of the other players. Again can be done with discord or other software.</li> </ul></blockquote>
