Skype-gaming and mood music


Advice


Hi everyone.

I've been playing through Rise of the Runelords for around 1½ year now, with my present group, and they're getting really close to the endgame. 4 of my players join me over skype, and I have my GF here in the apartment with me, so for the most part, we run the game digitally. We use maptool, for dungeonmapping and stuff like that.

Over the course of the game I've had succes with mood music, basically playing it on my side, and letting it pass through the mic onto my skype-buddies. However, this, of course distorts the music a bit and sometimes requires me to play it loud enough, that it becomes a nuisance to hear my players through the PC speakers.

I'm looking for a program, preferably browser based, but I'm trying to be flexible, that will let me play music for my players live. So I can have a playlist running with the proper mood-music, and switch as appropriate.

Do you know of such a program? I know Roll20 has the jukebox function, but that program does not really agree with me in its present form.

Thanks in advance.

If you have another lap-top or PC you can set it to dedicated music playing, and set it to "what you hear" or just connect the Mic port to the audio-out.

Not really sure.


Taku Ooka Nin has the right idea. Generally, I just link my friends to the song we need to listen to; we do text sessions rather than audio


The Roll20 virtual tabletop allows for background music and sound effects.

You can do it with Google Hangout, but you really need to be running Chrome as your browser. Hangout is considerably superior than skype, you can share documents, use dierolling apps, sound effects, and character labeling on your video.

And it's free.
