Interesting, are you using a VTT around the table? As in, not an online game?
How's that go? Sounds very intriguing.
No, I'm doing it for a distance game. But with everyone on the discord, they just ping me if they want to work with a character, and I always set aside extra time during level-up to make sure everyone is good to go.
I have heard of people using Foundry (and other VTTs) for table games. You create 2 logins, DM logs in to his via the Foundry app, and the other is logged into through a browser and displays on a big monitor (possibly laid horizontally if you have the money to mod a table and have a glass insert). Control of the party token(s) will depend on the setup. If both monitors are being used by the DM's computer, the DM controls the party map directly, otherwise one of the players logs in on the second PC and controls the party tokens.
There are a lot of variations.
I'm imagining the two of you as one person talking to themselves via sock puppets. I have nothing of value to add to this conversation beyond that.
I admit it gets confusing. At the time we ran into each other over on Reddit, I was living near Brisbane, CA, and he lives in the vicinity of Brisbane, AUS. We both play D&D/Pathfinder, both subscribe to random interesting things like r/etymology, etc.
So he is my Australian Doppelganger. :)
I love this.
