A few weeks ago I tried Tabletop Simulator with two other friends to play Gloomhaven[+]. I admire the developers that took on such a (positively) complex and rich game as Gloomhaven.
But it was a far cry from in-person playing (I realize). It's very much understandable—you just can't replicate that high-definition feeling you get from in-person game, especially from such a rich game. I was 'dejected' (again, that's not the right word) enough that I didn't try Tabletop Simulator anymore. Maybe I should try other games.
Man ... do I now wish that I hadn't turned down (with lazy excuses) all those in-person Gloomhaven sessions I was invited to.
Live and learn.

- joemasilotti 7y agoI feel your pain. As fun as online sessions are nothing beats physically picking up a figurine or meeple. I also found Gloomhaven particularly hard to use on TTS. Wingspan, on the other hand, was a joy to play.
- kashyapc 7y agoThanks, will check out Wingspan. Haven't heard of it before.
- caffeinewriter 7y agoThere are definitely some games that just don't translate as well to Tabletop Sim, but as far as shared tabletop experiences, TTS blows every other one I've tried out of the water on the widest variety of games. I use it for D&D, Wizards' Academy, and I own about half of the official DLC games.
- kashyapc 7y agoThanks for the suggestions. I haven't even scratched the surface with TTS.
- caffeinewriter 7y agoI'll try and put together a collection of great workshop mods when I'm home tomorrow and shoot it your way :)
- kashyapc 7y agoAw, thank you. I must admit, I'm such a novice with Steam and online games in general that I didn't even know what are "Workshop Mods" until I looked up now. :-)
