Show Notes


Roll20.net

Donn doesn't like online gaming because he feels like he has to spend too much time setting these up.

Online gaming tools have to support on-the-fly gaming and improv style

Adam preemptively makes useful macros & conflict maps/mats to improv conflicts




Adam's Torchbearer conflict map

Drawing in Roll20 sucks

Wayne uses Twiddla in hangouts instead



Infinitas DM + a big screen TV laid down with a sheet of acrylic over top = Dan's ideal gaming set up (and Adam plans on making it happen)



Make the things you need for your game, share the things you make. Basic DIY ethics.



None of us had used Fantasy Grounds or MapTool or any of the other Roll20 alternatives, Dan has reservations about complete rule integration in Fantasy Grounds. Adam doesn't appreciate the $$$ barrier to entry.



Crawler's Companion for DCC RPG by Purple Sorcerer Games



ACKS treasure generator on Autarch's website: http://autarch.co/treasure



Mega.co.nz



Wayne & Donn are curmudgeonly about pdfs. Everyone prefers books.



Wayne talked about random generator websites:





Donn brought up 3D printing for minis


Shapeways


HeroForge (but actual minis are cheaper)





Adam talked about 3D modelling with Google SketchUp






Donn says that using music in games is good at the beginning of sessions, but can be ignored as you start to get into stuff (his Sound Cloud stuff can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/pollyworg )

Adam mentioned TableTopAudio.com

Music was a point of contention

DMDJ app



Obviously, Google Drive is a thing

Adam has been using his iPad a lot

Trello app for smart stuff (hierarchical note storing, can add pictures!)
