As the younger members of our group get older, they are going off to college or {gasp} getting on with their lives. We still game but are finding it harder to get together as distances increase. Since they all have computers and are tech savvy, what software is available for virtual table top play?
Being a webmaster and database administrator I have access to all the technology I could possibly need. So be sure to include system requirements. I just need to know what my options are.
One thing I need to add. Some of the players will still be at the physical table and 1 or 2 will be remote. This means I need to accommodate both types in each game session. Also having the ability to do Non-D&D is a plus as our group plays many different systems.
For me there is only one answer. I can try each of the systems since I'm webmaster/DBA and have that kind of a setup, but I will in the end choose one. (There Can Be Only One!) As a service to the group I will give a full 'review' of what I did to evaluate and what/why I choose a particular solution.
I think that in the end the fantastic answers here will help others regardless of what I do. Isn't that the best thing?
