I think SQ used it a couple of times on Friday—one of the SW one-shots, I think. I dislike it, but I'm far more used to and invested in FG.

Has anyone ever tried Roll20? Tried it. Didn't like it because it just didn't look finished or even professional to me. Admittedly, that was a long time ago, but at this point, like Giger, I've sunk too many hours into FG to change now.

It is hard to have an opinion when we have never done this before. So I think N8 and I will follow y'alls lead. Just point us in a direction and we will do it Ditto here.. I have need. PM it to me. Don't know what I'll do about a microphone though. What kind should I buy etc.

Don't know what I'll do about a microphone though. What kind should I buy etc. PM sent with license. As for what microphone, any will do. I use a headset microphone combo, there are many types, it is more what kind of headset your prefer. If your laptop has both mic and headphone jacks then just about any will do. If you don't there are usb headset options as well. These work too if you don't like the around the ear style:

Nice thing with Fantasy Grounds, if you pick up Kingmaker again, and this funk is still happening (likely), they have the Kingmaker modules fully supported in FG.

I have purchased and downloaded the Traveller mod for Fantasy Grounds should circumstances make it so gaming at the Dog Pound turns out to be problematic. Just ... FYI... I have spare Fantasy Grounds licenses for those who have need. Just give me a heads up. You can get FGII here: Fantasy Grounds download.. If you want to use one of my many spare licenses, just download the 'demo', and use the license I provide. I recommend downloading the FG2 software linked above. Tomorrow, when I go into work, I'll leave the server running. Once you get it installed, we can try you not having a paid for license. If that doesn't cooperate, you'll want to PM CommJunkee for license info. Once the software is installed, click on Join Game. Add your Username (real name or online name, doesn't matter) and, in the Host Address, input dead ninja huge hook like below. It'll likely download some stuff, then take you to the Character Selection screen. Pick yours and experiment as you wish. CommJunkee has helped me confirm that my server is accessible. Attachments:

Server up and running.
Also, at least two of the Saturday group are interested in listening in - one to observe the ruleset, the other because he likes Traveller. Any of you mind if I stream this to Twitch? It'll only be up for a couple days (presuming I can get it to work) before going away...

Can I just get a microphone and listen through the computer or do I have to have all in one microphone and headset?

I've known people to just get a standalone mike and listen through the speakers. The only issue with that is the potential of having the speakers feedback through the mike, which you can avoid if you're careful.

Yeah, when I first started playing FG, I was using a mike like this. Attachments:

For voice, you'll need to download TeamSpeak 3. I'll send the login credentials later.

The Fantasy Grounds server is online and will be up all day; TeamSpeak is accessible all day as well. I expect to be back at the apartment by 6:30pm tonight, so we can troubleshoot any issues then.
Huzzah!

Blech. In retrospect, I really hosed that session up. Next week should be better.

Ultimately, it a matter of planning. I got tunnel vision prior to the bar fight as my intent was to have Ilik conducting part of his investigation during the fist fight ... so he'd roll initiative alongside everyone else, but when it came to him, we'd move out of "fight time". Since I was caught unprepared for Ilik basically blowing off Desna and still being present when the fight kicked off, I then later focused too exclusively on him in the later part.
Granted, I'm also my own worst critic when it comes to GMing...

Figured out the weirdness. It was User Error. (Imagine my shock.)
Ran through the 2 rounds of the firefight on the southern part of the map that I ignored for two rounds; Aquilo's boys lost one guy (plus their boss), while Moneta's lost four (plus their boss) and only had one to escape.
Also, due to having three damaged characteristics, Baefre requires surgery. Luckily, the LFC HQ has the requisite equipment and facilities; I rolled off Ephraim (with Boon due to Rostya assisting) - in four days, Baefre is fully healed and back on his feet. On Day 5, Ephraim is shot. (I'll go into more detail for that next week.)
It will also take around four days for Kai's pickup to arrive, during which time he is very good at making sad faces at everyone.

Blech. That was one of those adventures that looked better on paper than it played out. Sorry about that. Already, not 30 minutes after the game ended, I'm seeing four or five changes I should have made. Blech. I promise that next session will be better.
