Master/minion Player for VTT remote play is starting dev

I’ve seen some mention of this Master/Minion thing, what is it exactly? - Sorry, I am late to the game, as usual :smile:

In a nutshell, your players install the minion app and you install the master app, you can then trigger sounds on your device which will also play on the players device. Best of all only the DM will needs to own the soundsets! It’s designed to make online gaming much, much easier :smile:

I really need this! :stuck_out_tongue: Last games with roll20/skype I had to play without any background music and sounds as my electronic equipment can’t seem to handle it…So as soon as this goes live I will order my minio… ehmm players to install it.

We are still looking good for beta in Nov, currently aiming at Nov 15th.

Plan = Ben get’s back from Essen… bashes everything around one more really good time = launch!

(beta will be on a test server so we can really go to town on fixing things without risking the production stuff)

I have an online game running every Saturday night - right now we use Discord for voice and since I have a Battlebards account, I “cast” some sounds for them that way. It works, but I’d really love to be able to use all of my stuff, especially Syrinscape as my tabletop gamers love it (my Sunday game is non-virtual) and I’ve found a combination of music and sounds really adds to the gaming experience.

after hunting around on these forums a bit more, I discovered how to setup a VLC broadcast for my game sounds. Now I have everything working great! While it was a bit complicated (setting up Voicemeeter Banana for example), it was well worth the effort.
Of course, having an easier way to do this sort of thing would be really great.
