Out of Town Player

Matt is one of my players who lives six hours from where we play D&D. He joins us via a reliable internet connection and is able to interact with and see the other players around the table. I will not pretend that this is as good as having Matt at my table, but he wants to play and we want him at our table. We tend to send him photos of maps and movements to give him the best idea possible about what is going on:

The Player Map

We used dice so that Matt could give a quick reference as to where on the map he is talking about.

Matt's character is usually out front.

My Screen

Here is my DM screen. Notice the dice tower is outside of the screen, in public view. Know also that I stand when I DM, so there is no hiding myself behind the screen,
