Litorian runs a DragonLance, Age of Mortals game on Sundays via IRC. IRC really is easy to use, and is far less "clunky" than Vassal. If anyone ever wants to give it a whirl, check the first line in my signature. [:D] I really would like to have another place for MM members to speaketh freely!

One of our regular group members got himself married and moved to Arizona. Consequently, he's been on a game jones for such a long time. I would love to try something like this out, however, I don't have a camara.

Vindicated Night Below Champion of the Digestor!!! Knight of the OozesIcons called shot: Angry MobThe stink of rotten meat surrounds this multilegged creature with a segmented, 10-foot long body. Eight writhing tentacles protrude from its head, growing directly from below its clacking mandibles and tooth-filled maw.

if you can get some voice software like teamspeak it can cut down on typing there by speeding up your game, there are plenty of online dice rollers, the only thing you would need is some way to get around combat but vassal could do that, you would be looking at a longer game in general but its better than nothing

My brother and I have talked about it, especially since he just moved to Pennsylvania, and the other guy we game with is over an hour away from me. He has a web cam, and he has tried it with the 3rd in our group. They said it wasn't too bad. I think they used Teamspeak as the voice program.

To play with three people using VASSAL you would need to modify the skirmish mod file to allow three players. But I say give it a try! Since my group runs not only D&D but d20 Modern with this setup, I've started to put together a VASSAL mod that's more, well, modern with respect to the tiles, walls, units, etc. It's also geared more toward being able to build decent maps piece-by-piece rather quickly.

Doesn't VASSAL already allow four players? Skype is a good cross-platform voice over IP program for this sort of thing. There's also OpenRPG which IIRC, is designed for this, although I've never managed to get it to work. There was also something called... Klooge? Or Kluge? Or something like that. Never looked into it fully enough though.

Bite me.

My old group just started running games online using OpenRPG. There are some other options out there which weren't quite as good for us, for one reason or another (but YMMV): WebRPG.com OpenRPG.com Screen Monkey klooge.werks Fantasy Grounds Ghostorb.com

Meds, care to explain the bad points on Fantasy Grounds? My group is thinking about moving to that as we are becoming more and more busy with family and work and a cpl of our players live too far away. IRC is a good option as you can easily send files to each other; this is useful for maps and anything else needed. IRC also offers diceroller scripts and the live interaction is excellent. DMs can easily speak with only ONE player if desired and control the chaos if necessary by setting modes in channel. It is tough but I have enjoyed the few sessions I've been part of, but it takes a good DM to keep it going...as with anything else [)]
