Roll D20 works great for the neccessary maps, dice rolling, and such. Ventrillo replaces Roll D20's audio functions and is, simply, more robust and includes the all powerful DM tool "Mute all" function where he/she can automatically force the rest of the participants to shut up and stay shut up until he/she is finished speaking.Hamlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135081554790749914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750858425589737642.post-75304621822799437212014-01-16T18:30:36.064+00:002014-01-16T18:30:36.064+00:00Two downsides I've noticed.

None of us heard the DM mention them and he never mentioned them after that. That's wasn't the first time crucial things were missed.Hedgehobbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606283586332210195noreply@blogger.com
