Drink Spin Run S2 E8.2: RPGs and Technology

Adam feels better about being liked by Wayne than he feels about liking Wayne in the first place Our Guests +Dan Sandberg +Wayne Snyder Show Notes after the jump Guest Notes Dan Sandberg Atom Switch, Inc. Infinitas DM on Kickstarter now! (Adam screwed up the order of the terms "DM" and "Infinitas") https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atomswitch/infinitas-dm?ref=nav_search Wayne Snyder Metal Gods of Ur-Hadad zine More independent gaming projects than I can remember Show Notes Roll20.net Donn doesn't like online gaming because he feels like he has to spend too much time setting these up. Online gaming tools have to support on-the-fly gaming and improv style Adam preemptively makes useful macros & conflict maps/mats to improv conflicts Adam's Torchbearer conflict map Drawing in Roll20 sucks Wayne uses Twiddla in hangouts instead Infinitas DM + a big screen TV laid down with a sheet of acrylic over top = Dan's ideal gaming set up (and Adam plans on making it happen) Make the things you need for your game, share the things you make. Basic DIY ethics. None of us had used Fantasy Grounds or MapTool or any of the other Roll20 alternatives, Dan has reservations about complete rule integration in Fantasy Grounds. Adam doesn't appreciate the $$$ barrier to entry.
