You can't teach an old dog new tricks, but can you teach an old Git new tricks?

Dice
The Dice Gods are getting lonely


We have heard the jokes here at OG&D HQ that Zoom meetings are modern day seances, "Can you hear us Gladys? I can see you but can't her you... Move something if you can hear us..." and in this time of plague and pestilence, it befalls on us to be more imaginative in order to safely game.

But...

Does it work? Is it the same sort of feeling when you sit down behind your computer screen to start playing? Personally I have not tried it, and I am thinking about it more and more, the more I miss the rattle of dice and the groans of anguished players. 

What we really need is a comprehensive list of ways to make virtual Teams / Zoom games more fulfilling and enjoyable. So, I am putting this out to you, what tools are out there (bearing in mind the Od Gits are OLD and need help with modern technology at times) to make online games with real people more entertaining and comfortable. 

Please help an old Git that is desperate to game and is finding the realm of virtual, scary, in a Temple of Elemental Evil kind of way.

PS... Invites to join virtual games also welcome.
