Hey y'all,
Ken and I wanted y'all to know that we are still planning on playing on Friday night even with the quarantine, but we do not want to force anyone who feels they might be at risk. There are two people in our household that have to go out. I am cleaning at Satori but there are only 4 people there and we are practicing social distancing. My sister Beth, is a courtesy clerk at Safeway so she has much more contact with others.
If anyone does not want to take a risk, we will cancel the game so you won't miss out. The game would resume once situations change.
Please let us know as soon as possible. You can reply on the board or email me directly.
Thanks and take care.
John Niska

I will make it this week. I can also inquire about using our GoToMeeting account Friday nights after 7:00 PM, since nobody will be on it at work. I think we pay for a 100 member account. It will be free for others in the gaming group to use, as you will be issued temporary access that is only usable one time. You can connect either via phone or a computer with a microphone. Video can be shared if you have a camera. If someone does want to stay home, let me know and I can try to set that up. We use a laptop with everything installed I can borrow.

If you wish to use your browser and GoToMeeting next Friday, I will need to know your e-mail to send you an invite. I currently have the e-mail for Mark and Hubert. I have everyone's telephone number except Terri's, whom I assume will use someone else's telephone if you guys decide to not use a computer. I will create an event that will start at 7:00 PM this Friday on GoToMeeting and send out the invite. You can also use a mobile phone if you wish to stay at home and use a cel phone. My plan is to set up the GoToMeeting and then pass the lead to Luke, provided he has a computer handy.

Since out awesome governor has issued a statewide stay-at-home order, I guess I'll be playing from home until it is lifted. I'm not fond of the idea of paying a $2500 fine & 6 months in jail. Though I doubt they'd actually start jailing people for this, sine that would defeat the stay-away-from-people idea of the order.
So, Richard, I've downloaded & installed the GoToMeeting thingy. Let me know what else I need to play that way.

As of March 28th, Tucson and the state of Arizona are under a Stay-at-Home directive. As such, I will not be able to attend the D&D sessions until the order is lifted - May 1st. While I may try out Richard's software, the fact that I have neither working microphone nor camera makes this rather difficult.
Luke has a copy of my character in PDF form. There probably won't be any session summaries until after the lockdown is done.

Hey Y'all,
We are going to try the Go to meeting thing for the game tomorrow. We really can't have a gathering of more than 10 people.
So we will try it and see. If it doesn't seem to work, we can postpone the Friday night game until the Stay Home order is lifted.
See you virtually on Friday.
John.

The GoToMeeting doesn't require a camera. There is a chat dialog box at the lower left of the screen and you can select to send messages to either a single person or to the whole group. If you don't have a microphone and can only listen in, then you could always type your responses. I will try to keep an eye on the dialog box. By the way, if you have a set of apple headphones or something similar, they may have a microphone build in to them. The laptop you loaned me hubert also has a built in camera/microphone if you want to use that.

Are we using the same link as last week? Or, does it require an updated link for this week?

We will use the same link from last week. I will log into GoToMeeting around 7:00 PM and everyone can join any time after that.
