So, occasionally I become possessed and decide to run a game over the internet.
So far I've tried:
1. Using Steam chat for text and voice communication, and http://invisiblecastle.com/ for die rolls.
2. Steam chat for voice communication, and Gametable for a visual representation.
The difficulty with Gametable is that
1. There's no way to be an "Admin." Anyone can move any pog anywhere. People draw on the map.
2. It takes a lot of work to set up a map using gametable.
I briefly considered setting up a picture of the map on my desktop using Procaster (and then move everything around myself), but in my experience that has an impressive 30-120 second delay between me doing something and other people seeing it, so that'd be kinda slow and clunky.
