If you are interested in role-playing games, may I suggest RolePlay on Line (rpol.net) It's a forum for playing RPGs and since it's on-line it's perfect for people like The Husband and me who want to game but (a) don't have friends near-by to game with. (b)don't keep the same hours (it's text based, so you can pop into the game on your own time) (c) would like to play games that our friends are not interested in.<br /><br />You do have to create an account to look around, but it's free and you don't get spam. There are lots of games looking for players and it's anonymous - you pick a screen name, and once you're involved in a game, you're only ever listed by character name.<br /><br />The Husband is currently playing in three games and running one (he's a fantastic GameMaster, which means he never gets to play because everyone always wants him to GM!) The game he's running, "ICONS - Untarnished Silver", is a superhero adventure based in Hawaii! (No one in our regular game group is interested in superheros) You and John (and the rest of the Epbot crew!) are welcome to take a look at the game as an example - and if it looks interesting, we're open to more players!<br /><br />Feel free to drop me a line if you need/want more info!<br />DainXB (at) SBCGlobal (dot) netCaptainVideo42https://www.blogger.com/profile/06197533975292062491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-62092306271828630532013-06-11T11:48:00.415-04:002013-06-11T11:48:00.415-04:00I too am in that boat, and found Tabletop about 2 ...I too am in that boat, and found Tabletop about 2 weeks ago. Love it! It's gotten me to thinking I should just join a board game Meetup group. Surely it'd have people in it who would be willing to play something other than party games!Amanda Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-1155468656082589752013-06-10T10:32:37.568-04:002013-06-10T10:32:37.568-04:00That Planet Steam game appears to be made by the s...That Planet Steam game appears to be made by the same company that made one of my husband's favorite games: Red November. 3-8 players (gnomes) work cooperatively (usually) to fix a progressively worsening submarine as you wait to be rescued (or die - usually die). It too is "crazy complicated" (with heat, oxygen, and pressure gauges in addition to the general rules about floods and fires in rooms - and your drunkenness meter), but it can get pretty ridiculous (i.e. fun). :) We don't get to play it often because it requires a minimum of *three* people to play, but since Planet Steam has a minimum of two, we'll have to check it out. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-31874837333999188032013-06-10T09:09:08.710-04:002013-06-10T09:09:08.710-04:00I just love the octopus!I just love the octopus!Heather @ Snookies Cakeshttp://snookiescakes.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-13785397100012706842013-06-09T17:23:57.289-04:002013-06-09T17:23:57.289-04:00Aw Jen, I'm on the same boat for tabletop game...Aw Jen, I'm on the same boat for tabletop games. But I think they're a great idea, and I plan to drag the few ppl i know, DRAG them i say, screaming if necessary, to some games. Do you know Tabletop, the online web series by Wil Wheaton on Felicia Day's Geek and Sundry Channel? It's awesome, so much fun to watch you can't help but wanna try it out. It's a great way of finding out more about some cool games and figuring out which you wanna try.David Lehmannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-78760968421407243992013-06-09T13:28:35.636-04:002013-06-09T13:28:35.636-04:00I saw that AT-AT this winter in Vancouver.
