omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
OOh! Cool. I'm game (pun intended). And hey, it's on sale!
Could make gaming a bit easier, even here in LA. I remember when we played Serenity, and getting us all together in LA was an ordeal.
Seems the hardest part will be scheduling a time when BT can join us.

OK, taking initiative here. Created a Buffistas group in Steam, It's not public, to help keep riff raff out. Add me as a friend, and I'll invite to the group. My profile has a pic of me in a tux trying to be James Bond.
I'm new to Steam, so be patient as I figure stuff out.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That's what you get for using Steam-powered gaming platforms.
Sooo... how would this Tabletop Simulator thing work? What can you play on it?

Looks like it comes with a handful of classic board games. Also, a model to build a RPG game. And I think you can purchase modules, or build your own.

So to take a purely hypothetical example, we couldn't play Race for the Galaxy thereon?

I believe so. You can set up cards, so that you can not see the other players hand. So the hard part (possible copyright infringement part) would be importing the card decks into the virtual table top program.
(theoretically. All I've done is download the program. #notanexpert)

omnis I sent you a friend invite on Steam from Lagarat.
edit: actually I think you will see me as Webslinger. That's me and D's account. Could you guess?
