Twitch Overlay WIP

Edited 1535586386
Good Evening all, So i am brand new to D&amp;D and have never played - apart from yesterday evening where a DM (Zangmac - John M.) took me a few friends through a one shot intro game for a few hours and must say super super awesome - i have been watching D&amp;D live streams on twitch and must say super good to listen into the stories being told, but i have noticed that no-one have live player stats that update in real time - so i have taken it upon myself to create a twitch overlay - and here is a early sneak peak WIP - on the bottom half of the image you can see a dashboard - so the host of the stream only needs to add a browser source into OBS and then have another webpage open (Dashboard) and can update player stats when anything happens -&nbsp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCgPyhj3tF" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCgPyhj3tF</a> &nbsp;- if you are interested in testing it out once i have the basics all there and working - please let me know - in return all i would ask if you can invite me into one of your games so i can learn how to play and get more involved&nbsp;
Brett... Let me know bud, I'm interested in what you have going there. Looks good. Will the backgrounds and things be customizable?
Hey there - super cool - we could make the background changeable - but then the issue you have is the stats will still be positioned in place - but i am going to make different backgrounds so you could choose a background style - hopefully in a few days it will be ready to use :-)&nbsp;
UPDATE: the overlay is now finished and ready to be used - so looking for beta testers please get in contact&nbsp;
I have three games today that I am in as a pc, and will be streaming to twitch... Lets try it!
One possible issue I see is that not all parties are comprised of the same number of players.

Now with separate player stats panels - to fit your own custom overlay
I say that... Very nice! Did you see that the PHB backgrounds are mostly all too long?&nbsp;
I like the separate player stats panel.&nbsp; Much more user friendly with existing overlays! I think customizing would be relatively simple as well, as far as fitting in with existing, if a person is an expert OBS user.

Very cool!&nbsp; I'm actually a "returner" to D&amp;D myself and have been researching how to best do that with a group that's a hybrid of F2F and online depending on the session.&nbsp; Was wondering if anyone had something like this.&nbsp; Lo and behold... If you need more to playtest it, let me know; I'd be glad to give it a whirl.&nbsp; Regardless, nice job!
