FoolishOwlWe had the first part of a Session Zero today. We ran low on time, and had some technical issues. But we were doing some collaborative worldbuilding with #Downcrawl2E, and we were pretty well in sync with the vibe, so it was was quite a bit of fun.
berserk du soleil@foolishowl this is so great!! proud of you for giving it a try after much pondering
CyOn the question of the muted microphones issue, I found this:
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/5230
Firefox sometimes does not send or receive any streams ... and leads to problems. That's why we put a notification when you are on Firefox and using meet.jit.si, to warn people.
So... fuck me I guess. Still no clue how to get Firefox to use the right microphone.

@cy Huh. I've been using Jitsi with Waterfox, and it worked, without an error message. At least on Linux, I know the audio stack is a tangled mess and I've been lucky.
Anyway, if there's a voice chat tool that you know works for you, we can try that.
I just use mumble. That lets you pick the input and output, which is uh... all I need to untangle the "mess." Thankfully I don't use PulseAudio.
@cy Yeah, my memory of using mumble on desktop is that it walks you through calibration the first time, but then you know it works.
Anyway, I'd suggested mumble first, so I'm happy suggesting it again. I'll just have to find something to work as a whiteboard.
...attach pics of it on the Fediverse?
I'm not big on that realtime simulation of in-person stuff.

@cy In Montaagge's game, we just used voice chat with a bit of text chat and it was fine. FATE is mostly theater of the mind, but it tends to involve keeping track of Aspects and Fate Points and so on, so I thought we'd want some convenient way to do that.
Anyway, there are other whiteboard sites, so I'll come up with something.
