Issues we faced:
- Getting the campaign maps to show up on Cary's server.
- Token's for NPCs
- Maps needed for visuals even in the absence of an encounter
- Connection issues for Maptool and Teamspeak
1. I think we have this sorted out. We had an idea that I could directly upload maps to Cary's server but we ended up having to send them to cary via gmail and having him manually load em. Lesson learned.
2. This is a GM preparedness issue.
3. I think for the lightning rail encounter with the sentinel marshals, it would have been useful to have a map of the station ready, even if the characters weren't going to be attacked, or attack back. The visual of the station and the Marshals would have helped set the stage I think. As for the drunken brawl on the lightning rail, I should have had tokens and a map of the train car ready. My bad.
4. I think this will happen occasionally as new players connect for the first time, however i think we'll be set for now.
Overall I think I've learned a little about how an online campaign might have small differences to a face-to-face game, and I think this online campaign will work.

I thought the game was very fun all technical issues aside.
What I thought was challenging was trying to figure out whether it is easier to type responses, or speak over teamspeak. And on top of that I was constantly wondering if I could be heard over the new headset that I was using.
Because the game is online, I do agree that there needs to be more visuals. It might be interesting to find out what Wizards is going to do with the online portion of DND 4e.
I agree totally. It was fun. Hahah! I was also torn between talking or typing. I think if we get more people we may be regulated to typing. Otherwise we risk TJR Vent meetig syndrome.
Visuals are awesome but they also take a ton of time to create or find. If there are some generic things you need Curtis then let us know. We can fire some general mapsor placeable object at you.
