Not the highest of quality, obviously.<br /><br />(Also I could learn to enunciate clearly, but....)<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the next session also!

Also the DM (Ian) went laughingly along with all the crazy stuff we came up with. Overall a very positive experience.<br /><br />One thing I regretted was that I couldn't hear your microphone very clearly. This was unfortunate since, as you pointed out, much of what I did hear you say provided welcome comic relief. I could hear the others very clearly.<br /><br />I look forward to our next Google+ session!<br /><br />~MattMatthew Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17343263539473683579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518248131189980128.post-28514116474655346692011-08-10T16:06:54.596-07:002011-08-10T16:06:54.596-07:00Yeah, me too.

We used the Hango...I knew I'd leave stuff out!<br /><br />We used the Hangout function in Google+. It's a video chat that can handle about 5 people before it goes wonky (I'm told; this was only the second time I've tried it).<br /><br />For dice, everybody rolled their own. It's not the type of crowd where cheating would make any sense (and based on the die rolls we got, there sure wasn't any cheating!)<br /><br /><br />Another thing I wanted to mention was the diversity of locations. We had people from Virginia, Saint Louis, Seattle, (I think) Corvallis and me here in Minneapolis. These are people I would never have met if I just gamed locally.Will Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379173017869751088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7518248131189980128.post-81300389425300744602011-08-10T12:06:38.860-07:002011-08-10T12:06:38.860-07:00Oh, what did you use for connecting everyone onlin...Oh, what did you use for connecting everyone online?

In fact, it was my first return game to D&D after about 20 years. It was just as exciting and fun as playing at the table-top those the pace was a bit slower.bliss_infintehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433733609487959653noreply@blogger.com
