Getting ready to RPG...online

Waiting for my first online virtual tabletop role-playing game experience to begin.

We're playing THE SECRETS OF CATS, a setting for the FATE Core ruleset.

I have a black and white Maine Coon Cat named Slip (because he can "slip" in and out of almost anywhere) who lives in a theater and thus is a wee bit odd. He also sings. "MMmmmrmmrrrrrraaaaaasaaaooooOOOOWWWWW!!!"

Never done this before, might be a way I can get some gaming in from time to time since I almost never have Sunday nights free to go to Great River Gaming Guild.

We're using Roll20.com as the host for our game. I like the site and hope to delve more deeply into what it can do in days to come.

I'll share my thoughts and the experience when we're done.

I will note that if someone wanted to go all-out with the online virtual tabletop experience, they would have a decent webcam, a good headset and mic, and possibly multiple monitors to have more than one window open at a time.

Me, I cannot find my mic ANYWHERE. Last used it to share a TrainSim 2015 Teamspeak get-together last spring, but I've moved since then. I'm sure I'll find it in a box somewhere when I no longer need it.

Off we go, into realms of fantasy... :)
