Using Physical Dice for Same Room Gaming?

[Trenloe]

To run a client on another computer, you have to make a bogus character with which to share the maps/handouts.

You don't need a bogus character if you will just be doing normal map/story entry sharing. You'd only need a bogus character if you wanted to share just with that character (click-drag image/story entry to the character portrait).

Of course. If you share all, it goes to everyone even if they don't have a character.

No reply on the horizontal flat screen. Guess no one's doing that. Seems preferable to dealing with the shadow problem when you use a projector.

I use a second monitor connected to my laptop. I join my own hosted game so that the group can see the map and character tokens. They physically roll attack and damage dice, as well as adding their modifiers. I just drop the total damage into the CT wounds section.

We've only just started doing it this way, and it's working very well. Combat is reasonable fast and exciting. And my players get the thrill of rolling dice!
