   Melon is my choice for Streaming Software

   My experience with Melon has been amazing. Melon lets me livestream my broadcast and invite multiple guests with just one click. Definitely worth the price to let me stream to multiple destinations at the same time, I can broadcast my stream to YouTube and Facebook for my audience on multiple platforms!

   🏁 Competitors: StreamYard

   👍 Pros:    Multistream|Invite members|Easy to use|Easy user interface|Quick and easy|Easy to setup

   👎 Cons:    Need more image manipulation feature

   When it works, its mediocre

   As a DM for homebrew games, I used Roll20 for 2+ years. When it works, its OK. When it doesn't, its frustrating. I use a lot of custom rules and they are simply not supported due to a lack of modularity within the system. A simple variant of Proficiency Dice in 5e is outlined in the rules, and even it is hacky and not well supported on Roll20.

   The format feels like it was made two decades ago, and the web console spits out warnings and errors left and right. There has even been some conspiracies / drama with some of the higher-ups at Roll20, showing a lack of leadership.

   Please, let's let Roll20 die. Support another system.

   👍 Pros:    Can purchase modules like curse of strahd and tomb of annihilation|Free for dms and players|Use with a variaty of systems|Many features

   👎 Cons:    Not modular enough for me|Hacky programming|Ugly|Features feel clunky and slow|Some features do not work well at all|Buggy

  There are plenty of D&D software programs out there that are free and paid versions. Many of them with the ability to have friends join and interact with the table. As basic as Tabletop Simulator to Fantasy Grounds (both on steam that I have experience with, not an endorsement). roll20.net being a popular browser based version. Source: 6 months ago

  I have made a character on roll20.net that maybe border line iffy/OP, so I may have to make one that's not. My free time can be a bit unusual at times(it's 12:24AM as I write this)so someone who has similar free times as I do(if your interested let me know and we can talk times), basicly I've been listening to a DnD podcast and I think it sounds fun and I want to try it out Edit: I'm in PST timezone in...
