Group of Virtual and Live Players

I've got a group of 6 of us playing a campaign. Two of the players live out of the state and we are looking to use Roll20 for the virtual tabletop. Duh. But we've also got the rest of us who prefer to get together and play live. The question is, what is the best way to handle two "virtual players" with the rest of the group who are all together? I do have a TV that I can hook a computer up to so that it can act like a monitor for the gameplay. With a second laptop, I could use as the GM's screen and control the action from there. Maybe I've answered my own question, but I wanted to see if there were any others on the forum who are playing in a similar situation (some gamers live and some virtual). Thanks and love the site!

You don't even need a second computer. You can launch two instances of Roll20 on the same computer (one as GM, one as player), you just need a second screen. Here is how I play that way (it is explained for Maptool, but it would be the same for Roll20: <a href="http://toybox-sw.blogspot.be/2012/02/maptool-is-not-play-by-internet-program.html" rel="nofollow">http://toybox-sw.blogspot.be/2012/02/maptool-is-not-play-by-internet-program.html</a>
