    Lately, I've been playing boardgames on the computer with friends...remotely- steam has a 'game' called tabletop simulator.. from there you can load up libraries of different boardgames. So far, played Pandemic (of course), Jaipur, Formula 1 and Fire Rescue.
    Anyone play with this?

    I know some people who are into tabletop simulator. I am not one of them :-)

    I am lucky and I keep playing with my family. Actual board games.

    I have been playing some RPGs over VoiP, though. Lightweight storytelling sype games run very well online. I built a wiki for
    my group to hang their character sheets and notes online and we roll the dice with a bot. Great times.

    Awesome, yes, there is quite the list in there. I just find its a good way to still connect with friends... nothing of course beats the face to face in the same room. Previous months, we had been playing Gloomhaven, thats a pretty intense turn based RPG type game. I do miss those nights at the table.. 3 hours later.

    One of my buddies had the inclination to play Divine Right again, so we
    busted out Vassal and played a game "live." Well, I couldn't stand it... I wanted to incorporate the optional rules, special mercs and personality
    cards we created, and found on the net, many MANY years ago, so I've been editing and adding to it. :-)
