that sounds vaguely racist
also firebird, are those both cities, and if so what kind of cities? i dont know if dyas wants us to get that detailed but if you know one is a small fishing port while the other is a larger kindom with castle walls and what have you, details like that might be worth mentioning. or maybe you dont care and theyre both just average cities
Also Firebird, are those both cities, and if so what kind of cities? i don't know if Dyas wants us to get that detailed but if you know one is a small fishing port while the other is a larger kingdom with castle walls and what have you, details like that might be worth mentioning. or maybe you don't care and they're both just average cities
I will leave it up to each person how detailed they get. I put them as locations on the map. Besides, what is there when we get there.. could be completely different than what someone remembers. . .just saying. :P
I don't know if the party will even ever visit these places. I want you as a group to feel that you had a part in the world you create. If you all decided to visit one of these cities, then I might need more info, or I will make it up. If you never go there, it is a nice world you all created between yourselves, with my general story on top.
That being said, unless you tell me your characters know each other, I will basically assume that the locations are known only to the person who put them there, although NPC's might talk about them if story happens.
Bases on what Hero Lab implies, Hermea seems to be a rather large kingdom, perhaps aristocratic in nature.
Given the location, it would serve well in the story as a metropolitan hub for import/exports to distant countries overseas.
Not that my PC would know much about the place anyways.
Vudra is more or less a fairly decently-sized and respected monastery, since it comprises mostly of Monks and few passing merchants.

ah, i havent tried it myself, but it looks interesting. though the thing about tabletop is its trying to be as much like the physical version as it can be with its current engine. so probably play a lot like the regular version
Yeah there are certainly some things that are automated (various bags and quick drawing/shuffling cards, etc) but overall TTS does a pretty good job of capturing the feel of board games with some amount of setup and whatnot.
As for tabletop, it is literally that, if you didn't all ready gather. We have moved from this thread, but if you read some of the comments, you can see we were setting up a pathfinder game to play. Last night we did a chat in team speak, and loaded up tabletop. First we made a map. This worked as if we had all been sitting at a real table, and put a map on the table and started drawing on it. I just took a screenshot, but am unsure if you can save an image from in the simulator.
After that, I pulled out a lot of carious miniatures, and everyone picked one they liked. This would be very much the same if again we had been at a real table, and we just picked up and looked at the things. I will say a plus was we could throw them around, which in real life might be a little worse to throw stuff around your living room.
As for the mod that Karoz posted, if it looks like all the pieces are there, you could play just as you do in real life. The advantages, you can do it over the internet. There is voice in game, but I don't know how good that is. You would have to know the rules, unless there is a rule book in the game. I understand you can put a rulebook in the simulator, but have not done that myself.
Anyway, I hope that helps answer your question. So far from what I have seen, I think Tabletop is a great feature to play board games, or RP games over the internet.

awesome @DyasAlure thanks for running the game.
we're still running it with tabletop simulator, but to avoid taking this thread hostage so people can feel free to chat about other games or post questions its being moved to critical failures.
please feel welcome to continue TTS discussion for anything TTS related
Alright TTS, I've got a tough question for you. How difficult would it be to integrate a CCG in this engine? My friends and I used to play this old Middle-Earth CCG back in the mid-90s. Unfortunately, there's no online version of it and I was hoping I could somehow recreate it in TTS. Probably a long shot, or at the very least a lot of work, but worth asking.

I am starting to think I need to singlehandedly turn Secret Hitler into an e-sport so I can get rich off it. Fun fact I didn't know about myself, I am super great at lying and manipulation, even while drunk!
(If this post gives you the impression to not trust me when you play secret hitler with me, that's what I wanted you to think.)

Yeah the 2 games I played we had one slot free for the taking if anyone had asked.
Also, what was funny in the first game: ScarecrowJackson (sorry, don't know his PA forums name) accidentally admitted he was a fascist super early in the game. So while it guaranteed a Nein vote every time he was involved in the government, it made me able to gain a lot of credibility attacking him, and the liberals only won via good luck and me being chancellor and given 2 liberal cards right after a re-shuffle, when literally every other card in the deck was fascist.
There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

scarecrow is actually just a RL friend of mine, ive suggested he try out the forums, but he isnt a forum guy.

Ah, cool. Hope he wasn't too put off from the game by me singling him out as untrustworthy, for strategic reasons in both games. Honestly wouldn't blame him if he was though.

so i played a pickup game of secret hitler last night with some random folks. just joined an open server of someone hosting that game, and it was very odd. they were talking it super serious like it was a detective mystery instead of a game of deception. they wrote down every single turn who was president and chancellor. what cards they claimed to draw and what the claimed to throw away. then based on that they had a count of how many liberal policy cards and how many fascist policy cards were left. and if at anytime two players disputed what cards were thrown away they gave them dispute tags. it was really bizarre.
they also kept getting mad at me for playing wrong which was tiresome.

That sounds like an awful way to play secret hitler.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Gather round and listen close, for I bring wondrous news! Are you tired of the normal hum-drum board and/or card games you play? Have you ever wanted to learn about new and fantastic products that you never knew you just could not live without? Why, then I have just the game for you!
Let me tell you about Snake Oil! It's the newest product that's sweeping the nation!* It's quite simple, you and up to 5 of your closest friends/aquantices/fellow-internet-people gather around a table, real, imagined, or digital** and attempt to sell each other the great new thing for the low price of 7 payments of only 19.99.99!
The game is very simple, your child could use it***, and they should****! Allow me to demonstrate! As you can see, there are two types of cards, you have on one hand these product cards and then there are your customer cards. That's you, beautiful audience. So what you do, and it's so easy, is each player takes a turn being a Customer and every other player must combine two of their product cards into a brand new never before seen product that this Customer just cannot bear to live without. They must then pitch this simple and convenient product to the customer, each salesperson player trying to get the customer to love their product/pitch the best. The winning player is given the customer card, to mark and track their (patented) perfect product pitch. With Snake Oil, the fun never stops*****! By the written rules of the game, Snake Oil continues until each player has been a Customer once and the player with the most customer cards in front of them is the winner. So each round is lightning fast, perfect for the modern man or woman on the go! Now, You can also change the rules up (go to X winning pitches, for example), that's the power of Snake Oil, it can do that for you, no problem******!
tl-dr: This game is great. It's better than Cards Against Humanity, 4 out of 5 doctors could agree*******.
*Game released in 2010. So 'new' in geologic time-scale.
**Table not included
***Snake Oil assumes no liability for Snake Oil related injuries in/on children.
****Parental Discretion Advised
*****Fun stops, eventually
******Snake Oil not responsbile for problems encountered while playing Snake Oil

Going to start up a game of Dead of Winter in a half hour+. I have room for 1-4 more players if anyone cares to join HyphyKezzy and I. Newbies are welcome.
The wife wants to give Battlestar Galactica a go. I was thinking we'd try it on TTS, but wanted to see if anyone here had tried it already. Also, would 4 others like to join in?

sorry, i havent played that one. id be more than happy to give it a try though. however i know TTS has had a lot of updates recently that i havent gotten to try out so i feel like id be a bit rusty. not that it would deter me.
Anyone here interested in playing some TTS tonight (Monday) around 9pm EST? I was thinking I would like to try out Pandemic and this seems like a good way to do it.
