I'm looking to run a few one shot or short run modules as digital games. I'm thinking I'll run Day of the Octopus for 4-6 people sometime in April or May using Roll20. Most likely will be on Sunday Night for 2 hours at a time. I've got one person interested so far, anyone else?

Never tried roll20 (or anything else in ages), that's not one that where you require active speakers and a microphone is it? Purely text-interaction?

I just recently began to learn Roll20 (within the last 2 days), it does have features to support a camera and a mic / headset. From what I have gathered the camera is not necessary. They have several series on YouTube showing off its features. Most notably, the D&D Adventurers League series. The free service seems to offer many digital tools for use. Access to any reference materials or specific game materials appear to be hidden behind several tiers of a pay wall or possible a la carte purchasing.

Roll20

I've played a lot of online games on a few of the free platforms like roll20 and maptools. Depending on the preference of the GM they can use mics for chatting or some prefer text only. Roll20 has the camera feature built into it but I've never played with one. My experiences are mostly positive with online play. The group I play with has been together more of less for 5 years with a few additions and subtractions along the way. Like any gaming group though, you need to find a crew that suits your tastes. Online gamers come in the same variety of flavors as face to face gamers. You have your murderhobos and thespians and all points inbetween.
