Speed Round: Tips for Playing Virtual Tabletop RPGs

Publisher: Skirmisher PublishingMoving from a live tabletop to a virtual online setting requires patience and, at least initially, some effort, and a bit of advance preparation will pay off during the game session. This publication enhances the flow of play by streamlining administrative overhead and shifting the spotlight away from the rules and back to the characters with an eye toward sustaining interest and engagement. It helps to make online gaming smoother, quicker, and more pleasant with tips and guidance on teleconferencing; use of virtual tabletops and features associated with them like windows where maps can be displayed; and preparing for, running, and wrapping up sessions.
