I was playing around with VASSAL using the BSG module recently. Now that I own the actual game I was able to fill in all the card info to use on VASSAL. It got me thinking that a few of us out there might really enjoy playing board games on game night. If you don't know what VASSAL is you can check it out here (http://www.vassalengine.org/).
It basically allows us to play board games and card games over the internet. It is surprisingly easy to use (with the games I tested) so I see no problem with that. Ideally, I would like to fire up a Google hangout for a group of us and play a game of BSG (I'm open to other suggestions) on VASSAL. Any interest in VASSAL for game night or in general?
-
Totally interested.
-
I would love to play around with this game system. I love the idea of being able to play some table top with people over a google hangout or something.
-
I'm always up for tabletop even if its virtual tabletop.
-
Looks pretty easy to setup. I was able to get Battlestar up and running within a few minutes
-
I too got BSG loaded up and am itching to play.
-
Wanna try to at least play around with it this Friday or Saturday? Get used to the flow and whatnot so we can play a good game later on down the road.
-
I wont be available as I work this weekend
-
No problem. We can do it whenever we are all free. I just want to do it sooner than later because 1.) I am also dying to play (esp. with people who can appreciate the show) and 2.) the longer we wait, the more likely it is that we will push it under the rug and never play. I'll be bringing it to the mini next weekend. We can all figure out our schedules there and set some time aside to play online as well as pick some other modules out.
-
Hot. I can play Thursday night (tonight) if folks are down
-
Let's reach out to the GaG guys and see if they want to do a podcast of playing the game together or not. Maybe they would at least be interested playing, and mentioning it on their podcast.
-
I'll get in touch with Ray sometime today and see if they are interested. Great Idea!
-
GAG is down for some VASSAL action!
-
I missed this thread, but I am setup and ready to go too... MAYBE I will watch the BSG mini before we play again.
-
I've got VASSAL installed as well. I have the BSG mod downloaded, what other mods do people want to play?

Excellent. There are so many modules that it is hard to say. I would love to play Arkham Horror, X-Wing, Blood Bowl, and Twilight Imperium.
-
I dont recall us planning our next session but I am available this Saturday night (wasnt before, am now) or Sunday night.
-
This Sat will not work for me. Sunday is possible; however, since we have Monday off because of the holiday, it's likely that I will not be available. If we all happen to be on Sunday, then we can finish. We could always plan on finishing after our staff meeting.
-
Works for me
-
Just a heads up that we are going to finish our staff only BSG game on 6/1/2014 after the meeting. Hopefully we now have a good idea of how VASSAL works and how to play BSG. Once this session comes to an end, we could add in an expansion module and open up three more spots for other members of the community and make this an event. :2thumbsup:

Sure, just let any old toaster in, I know how this ends...
