New member needs modern gaming tips

[SSGMike]

I'm very glad I ran across these forums. My friends and I have been playing T2K since the mid to late 80's, but life has scattered us across the US. It's nice to see that the game is not dead, and there are people out there still who have a bit of a passion for the game.
SO, how do you fellas game these days? A couple of us continued a campaign a few weeks ago that has been on hold for a number of years. Our appetite for the game has been whetted again, and it was nice to get acquainted with our old characters. How do you guys play across the distance? We are thinking of using Skype for audio, but we're not sure the best way to do mapping where everyone can see what's going on. Any tips and ideas you all have would be great.
