    Beta Testers

    Hi Everyone!

    I’m looking for people who would like to beta test my new service for pen and paper and tabletop games over webcam and webchat. The idea is that when you can’t get together in person, someone can “host” the game via webcam, and then everyone else can join in via webcam and webchat for free. There’s nothing to download for the players, so getting everyone online for a game is super simple.

    The game screen has a big high resolution video area to display the board via camera. Players can also click on the video area to “ping” a location on the screen for all the players to see. Each player also gets their own webcam image or they can use an avatar and just chat over audio.

    I’d like some feedback from users on how well the system works for playing games online, and any features users think might make the experience better.

    You can check out the site at:

    And signup for an account at:

    Thanks!!

    i am not able to find it specified what happens after the free 7-days... nor how much what will be from then. i am not willing to sign up unless i can review that information on the website ahead of time. full disclosure of all costs that might possibly be incurred and costs for whom is important. it sounds like it is free for players, but what about gms?

    It sounds great for i may have an online game coming up that i will be hosting. That said, nijineko's issue is the same as mine. It would be both professional and expected for this website to disclose all, and if a site ignores the obvious, it sends up red flags.

    Sorry about the confusion. We've just updated the signup process to provide a better overview of the accounts and pricing structure.

    http://werole.com/plans_preview

    In order to host a game, gms need to pay for a "host" account, which would be $10/month. The gm is then free to share and invite as many players as they wish, and the players only need to signup for a free account to generate a username and avatar for playing. (they can upgrade to a $5/month player account if they want to get rid of the banner advertising on the site)

    Payment is handled via paypal, is totally secure, and you can use your credit card or paypal account. After the initial 7 days are up, you'll be automatically billed your first monthly installment of $10. You can cancel your subscription easily at any time via a link on your profile page, and you can cancel before the trial period is over without being billed.

    Since we're still early in the launch, we'd really like feedback on how the system performs and how well it works for lots of different games. If you'd like to become a beta tester, I can provide you with free host account in exchange for some feedback about how the system works. Just sign up for a free account, and let me know what username you've signed up with. (you can email me at mbulat@werole.com)
