Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

What can you play on it?

BT, back on the laptop, here are the games that you can play as a single person with base purchase of the Tabletop Simulator:

Jigsaw, backgammon, cards, cardbots, checkers, chess, chinese checkers, custom, dice, dominoes, go, mahjong, pachisi, piece pack, poker, reversi, RPG, sandbox, solitaire, tools.

I would guess, all of those you could play with someone else.

It looks like there are 3 down loadable content (DLC) to buy, currently available for Tabletop.

Cosmic Encounter Connector

Superfight

Darkest Knight

Each are under $10 (US). If I understand the descriptions, only the host has to own the DLC.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Someone has created a RFTG mod. Whoever decides to 'host' subscribes to the creator's RFTG to download the game (for free), and everyone else simply joins the hosts's room and starts playing. (full disclosure- the publishers of RFTG would receive no money from this)

It looks like the single player games do not have a AI to play against. Kinda sad.

Laga, I'm itching to try this table top thingie out. Do you want to play something? What's your schedule like?

I'm off on Saturday!

Should we advertise the Steam group in the Buffistas FB group?

Saturday! Let's do it.

Should we advertise the Steam group in the Buffistas FB group?
Sure. Not sure if folks can find it (it's private, no public). But at least that it's there, and to friend us, and we can invite them. I think I made you and both moderators.
