So, I'm a little confused about what a subscription gets me. It sounds like you get a case of miniatures every time a new set comes out. Sets come out roughly every 4 months so you'd get 3 cases as part of the subscription. You also get the additional discount perks. However, there's something in the message about adjusting quantities based on your specific gaming needs. How do you adjust quantities if you just get 3 cases per year? Do you get any kind of discount if you say that you don't want a full case of minis? I'm seriously confused on how this works and would appreciate some info.
It looks like a lot of you have experience with roll20, but I'm interested in the perspective on D20 pro as well. I try to be as organic as possible with my games and when playing in person I have used a mat that allows me to draw the locations with dry erase markers. This allows me to modify things on the fly or draw locations that I didn't even realize that I'd need to use because of player decisions. (Oh you're going to pick a fight at the inn? Sheesh) It looks to me from the tutorials that it would take forever to ad hoc a location on roll20 as it seems like you need to spend a lot of time setting up the map in advance. How easy is it to modify things on the fly?
I have a bunch of friends who want to play but most of them live in different places. Does anyone know of good sites/resources for remote gaming? I know a friend who skypes in a remote player and they set up a webcam to look at the minis but that's only one player. All of mine except one would be remote and we're looking at 6 players. From previous experience with podcasts it seems that Skype has issues with quality once you get beyond four people on a call and that's with an audio-only conference. I've heard that there are more gaming specific type tools to use and I'd like to try and experiment with several of them to see what works. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. |
