[Deptheads] Minutes, fresh off the brain!

Thu Aug 27 17:44:15 PDT 2020

The challenge with two different venues of communication is I’m getting dizzy going between email and Discord. :)

>> To be fair, I know his games use a variety of software and formats. The basic ask is to see what software the prospective volunteers are familiar with so they can answer relevant questions, and then send them to the right department. If you have folks who have been playing lots of virtual RPGs during lockdown and quarantine, they might be a good fit for Jim's department. Use your judgment from there.

>> So the whole reason I take minutes is to remember what was said at meetings. Jim has said multiple times that his games often use Tabletop Simulator. I didn't like, make it up for the minutes, yo. I might be hallucinating, so there's always that, but I'm pretty sure I didn't hallucinate this.

>> I thought they use the Discord Rooms for RPGs, and if another format is used that is between the GMs and the players? I know that some volunteers are going to his department, pretty much to "sit" in headquarters and answer questions...like they do IRL. Fortunately his senior volunteer lives in my house...but even she, who is scheduling the volunteers, was not aware of this particular need. @Jim Sandoval <mailto:plustentoawesome at gmail.com> please clarify?

>> Karla,
>> 
>> Since Jim's games are reliant on Tabletop Simulator and attendees might have questions or issues with it, a volunteer enthusiastic about tabletop games and knowledgeable about the software might be invaluable to him, so if you have such a volunteer on deck, I merely suggest that you send them his way. And yes, Jason really needs folks who are knowledgeable about and willing to run video game events. This is all stuff that was said in the meeting and confirmed by said department heads.

>> Tara,  Confused as to why I'm supposed to give Jim volunteers who are familiar with Tabletop Simulator (and Tabletopia). I know Anje gets those. Jim just has Potato's crew manning the headquarters...unless I missed something. I was also going to send people who are willing to learn (fast) to Anje.
>> I was planning on sending everyone to Anje, unless they want to run video game events, then I'm sending them to Jason.

>> @Eric Aldrich <mailto:ealdrich at mac.com> - PotatoPie (aka Alyssa Freeman) says she is not yet on this mail list. Can you add her please? I'm tired of yelling stuff at her across the house as I read it here. lol.  iamlissybug at gmail.com <mailto:iamlissybug at gmail.com>
