Boardgame Night - VASSAL

Post by Bane » Sun Dec 15, 2013 12:04 pm

I found some mods using vassal - maybe we can get a board game night going or maybe PBEM.

One game I found, Demonlord - and if I remember- didn't you make a copy of this game Ash? Rules are here


VASSAL also has Arkham Horror and mucho lots of others.

True that. I've printed all the pieces but then something terrible has happened. I don't know what exactly, I think I've acidently trashed half of the pieces not knowing about them, hidden in envelope..

Well, never played the game. Is it actually just a two-player game?

Hey Ash - two player - maybe it can be done via pbem - it's an IGUG system :)

VASSAL is available for the mac! I've played a bit of Arkham Horror but I haven't come close to mastering it!

I'm always up for a game - maybe we can get others to play.

Great thing about vassal is we can always save the game ;)

Should we try and setup a game of Arkham Horror then?

I couldn't find a D&D game :(

Sounds like a plan - I'll read the rules again - been awhile :)

Remember those Friday night NWN sessions - that was fun :P

I set-up a Arkham Horror game signup thread - as that's what I do - create threads and try to over complicate the process :orc ass:

Give me a sec and I'll get some consultants working on it too... :geek:
