/v/ - Video Games

Its good provided you get friends to play with and you ignore all their DLC.

How viable is it for table top RPG with random /tg/ group?

>>14031890

Pretty viable. Ive seen people play all kinds of TTRPGs on TTS.

If you don't actually play boardgames forget it.

You will be stuck playing the most casual of games and you probably don't even know how to find the proper manuals for more serious games.

Good boardgames are not for plebs.

Either this or find a friend who is really into boardgames.

>>14031890

I'd imagine roll20 is better and free.

What a faggot thing to post.

I've played plenty of board games, I'm absolutely sure I've played close to every game you'd call a "good board game", and own quite a few of them. They're not exactly something that are hard to get into, they're not some ethereal form of entertainment only the enlightened can partake in. There's a reason why more and more normalfags and casuals are getting into these things in the past few years.

They're fucking board games, get over yourself. I'm sure anyone who posts here can pick up something like Carcassonne or Catan and learn the rules and start a game in 10 minutes or less. Even more complicated games like Gloomhaven or Twilight Struggle have manuals you can easily follow.

It's honestly the best way to play an RPG online, provided your DM spends some time to learn how everything works and to set up the game beforehand. That last part goes for every method of playing online though - the group will have the best time playing whatever the DM is comfortable using. But otherwise, everything needed to run an RPG is easily importanted within seconds.

It's also the best way to play 40k. I lament that the only friend who likes to play the game is absolute shit at it, because I had a lot of fun making kill team maps and playing with him.

I would, but my parents told me not to talk to strangers.

>>14033808

There! We're friends now. Not strangers anymore.

>>14033814

okay, you convinced me. Add me on steam and we can play STEAM_0:1:38889004

>>14031890

Maybe try asking /tg/

Also this. The public servers and chat is full of redditors playing the latest meme game. The superior option will always be to play the games in person, but if you really want to use TTS, I will say that it is a perfectly serviceable program. It does what it's supposed to do and works for a wide variety of games, though it can feel a little clunky and slow at times.

What you need is a reliable, civilized group who actually wants to play a game. Getting some random anons into a room and maybe two of them will have mics, and most will want to shitpost and fuck around, throwing things across the table, spawning random bits of stuff, and drawing dicks all over the table. If you can get past that phase and actually set up a game, it's not that bad.

It downloads p2p style.

Try getting into eclipse or twillight imperium after only 1 reading of the manual.

Parties tend to play the games wrong and more often than not there are real errors in the manual that can only be cleared after finding specific posts by the game creators online.

It's not about being enlightened. It's about having the patience to learn. Something a lot of people lack.

>>14033867

Or you just get one of the tons of workshop games.

>>14033451

is the 40k content still in the workshop or does it need to be "liberated" from an alternative source?

>>14031725

I play it a bunch with friends.

We do weekly tabletop games.

There's also heaps of MtG, Yugioh and other great board and card games on there. Totally worth it. Except when the devs update something like the network and screw it.

I can't recognize those logos, what fucking pornsite is that?

>>14043257

Looks like a chatroulette type site.

Who wants to play/Learn a game

I don't mean none of that casual bullshit

Let's start a room and learn something like Scythe or a Lovecraft game

Fuckin anything I am down for it

Mite be cool for some boardgames. I could see doing a game night or just straight up asking /tg/ if they wanna play something. It's feels like forever since we did something as boards.

>>14031725

I was surprised to see tabletop simulator having this.
