So the BSG play by post sign up filled up in less than a day and Mags's Betrayal at the House on the Hill mafia game filled up quick as well. A lot of us play Heroclix and there's been some talk about Twlight Struggle, Pandemic, Dominion, Dead of Winter and Resistance in the chit chat threads.

Why don't we try to schedule a Skype game of something once every month or two?

Who's interested? What would you want to play?






Edit: Okay, so we have some interest.

Figure it's best to start with something lots of people own or are excited about. I put out a list of suggestions. Feel free to make more or voice preferences.

*s note the player owns or has access to a physical copy of the game.

Put me down for, oh, anything. Not just because I would love to play some games but because I would like to do so with some of you. That and I think this is a great thing this group could use.

I'd be down for it, but I think it is very difficult to find a time that fits considering the time difference.

I would be interested in this, you bet!

I think I would be interested. I'm not sure how it would work, unless someone was 'running' the game.

I think it would depend on the game and who has it.

For anything that has a deck, I'd say someone is going to have to be running the game, to an extent where that player's deck counts.

We should do an FFG RPG beginner game, and Gfish should run it.

I'm interested in something like this for sure. I unfortunately don't own too many board games, so I'm not sure how well I could do that. (I do own GoT and Pandemic for what it's worth, just trying to wrap my head around how more of the piece heavy games like GoT would work remotely)

On that note, I'd be very interested in a "pen and paper" RPG. I've played over gchat before and it's worked well. I've always wanted to try the Star Wars FFG RPG, but my normal RPG crew prefers the Cortex system/Pathfinder.

So for the time being, but me into the "interested" catagory

I think AGOT would require everyone to have the game and it would slow down things as you call out your orders and everyone places them so all the boards look the same. Then one person draws.

Probably not the best pick for a first outing.

Something like Imperial Assault, Betrayal at House on the Hill or an RPG might be better as only one player has to have the board. Or something like pandemic where you can say "Move my one guy to London" and that's easy enough to do over Skype as opposed to reading out several order tokens for each player.

The more pieces on the board each player controls, the tougher this gets, I'm thinking.

My thoughts exactly.

I don't have Pandemic or Dead of Winter but do have the rest (depending on version of GoT, access may be tricky). I've also got the assorted Arkham Horror games, the WoW boardgame, some of the Warhammer games including the Horus Heresy, the Archer bg, more RPGs than is worth listing and, yeah, a ton of other board games I'm forgetting (not to mention "LCG + BG mixes" like the Legendary system).

If we start a game of something I don't have, just figure as long as it's not OOP, I'll have it in a day or two. So no worries on that front.

It's 4 pm to me and 9 am to Mags but 11 pm in Europe.

As long as we do this on the weekend and you don't mind having a board game morning instead of a board game night, you should be okay.

I think getting three continents at once is going to be out of the question unless Aussies or Euros want to stay up way past their bed times.

I'd be pretty willing to work around the schedules of Mags and Quebbs (though I have been hopping timezones so much of late that's what I've been doing Realms-wise too).

Oh, and being it's a theme I know some people here like - Hi Truff - we can add the Portal boardgame to the list as of an hour ago.

I'd be interested as well, depending on if the times worked out.

Ok, this is when I know I've both too little time as it gives me enough time to think up crazy things...

Designed some rough rules for a boardgame I'm currently calling "Stories from the Cabin" based on the movie Cabin in the Woods. If any of you want to try helping me refine and give it a whirl, let me know.
