    Default Need help Best way to Stream PnP Game both Audio/Video

    So I'm going into uncharted ground here so I could really use some help as a few of my main players have left for different cities to go to college & university but they want to continue to play DnD with us especially with the D7D Next Playtests coming out but we have no idea what the best way to stream it live.

    Now we don't really need anything fancy just enough that they can hear the DM (me) and the players.

    The video is easy just need a decent webcam than I'll set-up a skype video call...the Logitech C270 HD Webcam only costs 20$ and seems to work quite well from various video reviews I checked out....more than enough to see the players...or in combat the board.

    As for the sound I see a few options...which are probably wrong or overly complicated :P

    Option 1 - An omni directional microphone handing down from my drop ceiling...WWE style

    Option 2 - A Bunch of $5 - $15 stand mics (I'd just wear my Tiamat 2.2 Headset)...not sure how I would consolidate the audio into a single skype call though.

    Option 3 - One of those flat looking conference mic things you see in the movies in board rooms...no idea what its called


    Any other ideas or assistance were my issues with Option 2/3?

    We generally use
    1) skype (for voice)
    2) a screen sharing program (for maps)
    3) google docs (for our character information)

    all at once

    We have the advantage of being split into 1 group + one other person who is far away.

    Good luck staying together!

    edit: we all have laptops, and primarily use the built in mics & cameras. they're not great, but they work.

    Limitations:

    We currently have 1 Laptop and 1 Desktop...although that may increase to 3 laptops

    We don't want to play PnP on our PCs otherwise we'd just use a program to play on and all hop on skype at our own houses.

    We just use the offline builder for our characters and hand around the save file on a jump drive..most players still use paper as well but more people will be getting laptops soon.

    Only my PC will have net
