I’ve only recently found the Happy Jacks community, and the hosts and the supporters have grabbed my interest like a three year old with that thing they aren’t supposed to have, and run with it down the hallway, giggling adorably.
Right now, I’m in between regular gaming groups, and the AP’s have me missing the feeling of being part of a good table. But all my gaming has been tabletop. I’ve nerded out over the idea of flat screen tables so you just load a map onto a screen built into the table, but that’s the closest I’ve come to a virtual tabletop. I’m sure WoW and other MMORPG’s don’t count.
So I’m a blank slate for something like Jackercon. I’d like to get a quick basic course in online RPGing, get the theoretical understanding, before diving in.
Can you powerful and perceptive personas provide possible preliminary preparations to promote my proficiency from its piddling present particle to a passable peck of polish?

I am hopeful that we will release a little "How To" video for Jackercon 2018 this weekend the actual con will be run at the end of June. There are a few games up already over on Jackercon.com
My main advice would be to get familiar with Discord. I think that will be how we do the video chat. Otherwise most of the crunchy bits of games are up to individual GMs. Most games are run with a simple character sheet and dice rolled at home.
We will again hopefully have it all clear by the weekend.
