I appreciate it.<br /><br />Back in '02 or so, the first time i tried to do online play, we used Skype for audio (no video; insufficient bandwidth for some) and Gametable (co-developed by Andy Weir, yes the same Andy Weir who...) for dice and map. Gametable is still around, but like you I don't really need figure mapping, just a place to put visuals.<br /><br />But it was a little hassle getting everybody running with Gametable and keeping up with updates. I was a paying member of Roll20 for a while, but some of my candidate players have already told me the mapping and drawing tools are too much distraction. (That's the thing I've found about "use what you need" -- the reality around me is "if it's there, use it." Which extends to rules ... the instant a player becomes aware of an "optional" rule, they wants it, precious.)<br /><br />Meanwhile, really liking Rolz, so much that I'm in on his Patreon. It's straightforward, simple enough (except the more esoteric dice roll codes), and does many things I like and nothing I hate.<br /><br />Thanks, again,<br />Bob P.Bob Portnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563075580066984380noreply@blogger.com
