Hey all, I've been meaning to get into playing Commander via Spelltable a bit and was wondering if any of you had some tips on what setup to get! Probably a good webcam, a boom stand to mount it on? Anything else that's important? If you have some experience with this, I'd love to know! 

I was also wondering, how would you guys feel about me starting a discord? Patreon already gives me the option to make a member-exclusive channel, so it'd be the perfect place to just hang out, vibe, talk about tokens and Magic a little. Anything I really need to consider before that? It would probably need a bit of thought beforehand as far as moderation/organization goes, but I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

Happy Tuesday!

I normally use xmage for online commander, never used spelltable before. As for the discord, it is a great way to keep things together. I use it all the time for channels with friends and groups to keep track of rings separately. Discord access could also be an added benefit to patron

I use a Logitech C920 mounted in a flexible goose neck arm attached to a shelf above my desk. If you have a space like that, it's a great setup since it's detached from the desk. I 3d modelled and printed a mount to make it sit in the arm more securely, so if you pick a setup like that, I can provide the files or part https://a.co/d/9Ksb44b https://a.co/d/55BAJPa

I used my phone stuck on a gooseneck arm for my camera and a laptop setup to the side of my mat for spelltable.

I use a doc cam but a boom and webcam works well too. I have some lights to help with glare. I would love a patreon discord to play some games

I do a Spelltables stream on Wednesdays and also use a Logitech C920. I used a tripod but an arm of some sort would be better if you have the desk setup as I find the tripod gets in the way of my already limited play area.

On the aspect of Spelltable, I have no idea how to help (let alone play commander) However! On the side discord I can definitely say a yes to! I can definitely suggest a few things that could be good with! Anime/manga channel for those who want to talk about it. A definitely Vorthos and Melvin talk sections so the two don't intermingle. Generally Metalburst4's comment is great. I feel like an artist channel for the general public/patron would also be nice. Also a meme channel is great!

I don't know if I'd join another discord channel. My problem is that I'm already in far too many because of Patreon as it is, and even if I leave them Patreon eventually adds me back into the discord again.

It would be fun to have a discord and I'd be delighted to play with you all. I got a cheap articulating arm from eBay that's great to hold a webcam in position for spelltable, but the 4K Logitech Brio now hangs from the top of my monitor and its included mechanisms are perfect to angle toward my desk for spelltable.

I would say our feedback is great, along with it, I'd also maybe reach out to some of the Magic influences who are used to doing spell table and such. They might even have more information to throw your way when it comes to running spell table and set up along with discord.

Great ideas! I think different channels would be super fun to give a space to this small community that we have on here!

That’d be cool! I think you should decide whether you’re okay with people trading /buying your tokens in discord before you start though
