My idea: To stream a feature match each round and provide live commentary.

Who's got the goods to help me out? @jadziadax8

I have microphone headsets (thanks work) that I can bring.

Michael
Excellent! Please bring them. I will hunt down the USB to USB extension.

We're gonna make this work!
I don't have a microphone headset but DO have a podcast-quality Blue Yeti. My fear is it'll pick up too much room noise, but your voice will ring through clear as a bell.

This will be amazing, by the by.

I should probably build a deck...

Bring what you got and we'll smash things together until something works!

Quick question guys:. How long are the cords on your headsets?

@jadziadax8
Maggie: your laptop has 2 USB ports correct?
Not original size, but I can bring a hub.

MEGA POWERS ACTIVATE!!

Just to get everyone on the same page of understanding to coordinate this to best of our abilities my idea is to have the feature table be away from the rest of the tables to some degree, my judging table form a T shape with that table where the computer and camera will be at the junction. With a longer headset cord i will be able to do commentary while both standing over the game to give accurate "this is whats happening/Dilemma X was just revealed" information but also have moments where i back away to provide hypothetical/strategy commentary without it unduly influencing the game.

I'm gonna be picking up the usb extension cord for my camera today so that i can do a test run with it to figure out what i need to do to get it at the right height.

If i can get these technical details locked down, yes, this is gonna be awesome.

Don't forget - if any of our locals or traveling players are looking for some fun on Friday evening, I am headed to FFG after work for casual games. I believe Lillian will be with me, and I am hoping a few of you will join us for Ticket to Ride, Splendor, or whatever games you want to play. :cross:

I will be working until 4:30 and then would want to grab dinner with Lillian and perhaps a traveling Huth beforehand. So, say 6ish for our arrival? :cross:
