so, through a unique set of events (host’s 11 year old son is filling in for a player and hears us mention a projector around the time of the host’s birthday and host’s spouse texts me about it while I’m literally in wilderness on a hike to ask for projector advice while at Best Buy ), our gaming location will now have a projector. This is great for us. We have a spare Apple TV, so we can project all kinds of stuff, as well as a chrome cast for the poor souls without Apple.
The question is - how much do I want Roll20 at my game? I expect that we will be able to do a GM screen and a player screen, and if we really wanted to everyone could have their own.
I love maps. I love terrain. I love minis. I don’t really care if it’s on a projector or not (I have plenty of physical stuff but of course a 3d printer is on my list after I make sure the spouse gets a washer and dryer)). We’ll be doing classic Fantasy I expect, and a Pirate game (yar, all ye take 50 more points in sailor, yarrr, and ye get ye some firearms, yarrr). Do I want to to pay? Is it worth it? I can see dynamic lighting, and I could use that effectively (fuck your I will creep the shit out of you, players, you will be so paranoid you will be stabbing each other), but not sure about the next tier.
Btw, end result was don’t buy at Best Buy, give him permission to buy a projector, let him pick, and he’s also looking at remote controlled color changing lights so we can Red alert as is needed. Also a ceiling mount and a screen and I probably should buy some chocolate for the spouse.
