Long Distance Roleplaying (and Kingmaker question)

[Maestr0]

So one of my players is moving about 6 hours away and wants to keep playing games with us. Using Skype for voice and video, what would be the best way for dice? Keeping a camera on his dice seems a little silly.

Also does anybody know of a good way to do Kingdom building online so my players can do it online and it not bog down normal play?

Skype is a good way to communicate during gaming sessions, providing both the sender and receiver have a fat broadband connection.

Dice is a small issue. Just trust the guy not to cheat, yeah?

Online kingdom building is as simple as getting a Dropbox account and then putting all of your kingdom files (city maps, mayor sheet etc) up there (in the clouds.) If all of your players have a Dropbox account, you can share that "dropbpx" with 'em. They can see the files and save them and make changes, whatever you need to do.

In this computer age, playing from afar is quite possible.

MapTool is free, and it supports dice in the chat window.

It also supports a heck of a lot more, but if all you want is a good networked diceroller, it should be sufficient.
