Controls are mostly straightforward and intuitive, but there's always little tips and tricks to learn, more info can be found at https://kb.tabletopsimulator.com/

That's easy, you click on "Join" in the main menu, search for the lobby name and password that's been posted, and done!

Click on "Create", and that's basically it. You can find free games in the workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/286160/workshop/';

Ok that looks more presentable, here's the mod with all the things added in case you lads wanna try it while I'm out: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3233138401

Setting up any module will have to be done manually of course, but if you add the corresponding cards and tiles to the components in the back, the script will shuffle and deal them out properly so that's pretty cool, only issue so far is that the new Staff cards have the wrong "hidden" image because of the way the original uploader did them, so I'll have to reupload those, and also the script itself deletes the snap points I made to create their own, which are in weird positions we never use anyways? I probably can trial and error that code out of the script.';

Very simple, I stole the code from another workshop mod
If you go to Scripting and UI you'll find each block has the following (with different restrictions so each color can only see their blocks).

'>>1278688
You're missing his point, I think. He just wants a more relaxed atmosphere, where players aren't obsessed over winning and are in it to just hang out and play some fun games (which does not necessarily mean they don't care about winning).';

'>>1278701
Nobody in this thread is a tryhard I think, I don't know where anons get that idea';

'>>1278705
..well, I would actually disagree to an extent with certain figures; zero offense meant of course...
Anyways, the term tryhard is relative to the majority of a group that person finds itself in.
The same person with the same strategies, taking a game semi-seriously, will be a "tryhard" in a family setting, while if they find themselves in a competitive game for money they would be goofing off too much compared to other players.
So you can see why some Anons get the impression of most games and players here being "tryhardy". We are Mid, generally, though you'll see lots of party and light games; and only sometimes Hard.';

'>>1278701
No I totally get it. "When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning" is a quote apparently from a game designer. And so far from what I've seen, most anons playing ITT follow this line of thinking, even in games where you can tryhard.';

'Second place is first place for losers';

'>>1278714
There's a limit to how relative "tryhard" can be, in a scenario where you have 2 guys playing chess with one playing normally, chill, maybe even sipping tea, and the other literally pulling their pants down and shitting on the board you wouldnt call the first a tryhard just because he's not as deranged as the other
And then in the last part of your post you're confusing the 'tryhardness' of the players with the 'complexity' of the boardgame itself
Even if it were about the games being hosted, there's still nothing 'tryhardy' about them, we always teach and are always willing to change games at a moments notice if the players dont like it';

'>>1278650
well couldn't find any interest unfortunately but maybe we try again sometime. I am committed to getting one game of betrayal in.';

'>>1278822
Okay, I get your drift, but that chess example is ridiculous nonsense. Obviously in that case the 2nd guy isn't even playing the game, there is no comparison to be made here.
There needs to be an unstated social contract where you both agree that you will play the game fair and by the rules, and won't stand up to shit on the table for there to be a game in the first place.

>And then in the last part of your post you're confusing the 'tryhardness' of the players with the 'complexity' of the boardgame itself
That's actually a perfectly made argument, but it's not me that it should be aimed at, I'm aware of this, it's the people who did actually confuse one for the other.
Here's a thing. Tell me, which game is going to have a no-nonsense design with minimal amounts of tomfoolery; an easy, light, family game, or a grand strategy with 3 rule books? Which game is to see the tryhards more commonly? See where the misconception stems from?

>Even if it were about the games being hosted, there's still nothing 'tryhardy' about them,
My point was a matter of relativity, some simply consider us to be too serious for the lax fun they are looking for, no matter the fact that we are fairly lax to begin with.
Again, I also think they're wrong, but on the other hand, if you asked some frequenters here to play Munchkin, they would sooner blow their brains out.';

'>>1278674
>>1278675
munchkin is tryhard as fuck. you're conflating complexity with seriousness. Everybody here plays to win because that's the objective, that doesn't make you a tryhard, everybody here tries to do the best play and also shitposts and jokes around when doing so regardless of the game.
You just want simpler games where you can turn your brain off and there absolutely nothing wrong with that, but tryharding doesn't have anything to do with it.';

As long as people wanna play garbage, then garbage will be played, but people generally don't mind or care it's being called garbage, so it's just all pretty loosey goosey suck-each-others'-cocks sorta setup, except for when I host and can't get players and then you all can just go to hell';

'>>1279295
That's because you're trying to host Twilight Imperium or some shit';

'>>1279295
>virtue
Of course it's a virtue, it's called open-mindedness, but it'd be much better if the game being played were actually good
>can't get players
Maybe try hosting at a time that's not nighttime for most anons here, or during work hours. It also helps to post an advance notice

>>1279331
Would join TI though, only got to play it twice';

'>>1279358
>it's called open-mindedness
No it's not. It's just that people are too lazy to care about their own standards. Nobody goes into a game of Betrayal or Munchkin thinking "oh maybe this time, the expansions/variation we'll be using will add the missing piece required to make the game more fun, or the change of players and their playstyles might bring out more from the mechanics in a way I haven't seen before"

It's "man it's either this, hosting myself, or no board games.....fuck it."';

'>>1280293
>"man it's either this or hosting myself and get no players"
Fixed that for you
Because games that aren't munchkin, betrayal or four souls are "tryhardy"';

'>>1280341
>"man it's either this or hosting myself and ending up with Clank Adventuring Party or Mysterium again because I got more players than I planned for"
Fixed that for you';

That happens only like once every 2 or 3 weeks, at most
And I like it when we have "too many people", it's a good problem to have';

'>>1280341
>Because games that aren't munchkin, betrayal or four souls are "tryhardy"
Nobody wanted to join that anon that kept asking for Four Souls, it's because the games are simply not good, or in some cases, I think hosts have created a bad reputation and people don't want to join them anymore.';

Thanks for the pic, lights are back on and PC is alive. Hope you enjoyed the 2.5 rounds of 6Nimtt Professional we played. In case you didn't know, it was made by Wolfgang Kramer, same guy that made El Grande!';

'>>1280515
Four Souls is where I draw the line. I've got a high tolerance for a lot of schlock games, to the point that I'll argue that the right combination of Munchkin expansions can be fun, but Four Souls is just outright just, eurhgurhgurhguhrguhruhguhrguhrgh

One bit that will just forever get me is how the only thing you can trade under normal circumstances is pennies for favors, but the rulebook outright says "yeah they can just choose to fuck you over, and the only 'protection' is that they'll get a reputation for being a dick for future trades." Even Munchkin has a "no welshing, shitass" rule baked into it, and it's fucking Munchkin.';

'>>1281214
The author put that rule "as a joke", but it was errata'd later. Trade deals must be honored as per the updated official rulebook

>Players are encouraged to trade for favors or nefarious acts. When bartering, a player can pay another player any amount of ¢ for practically any favor. Player's can't trade items or loot in this fashion, only ¢. Players can give ¢ away without getting anything in return, but the receiving player must agree to it.';

'>>1281328
>The author put that rule "as a joke", but it was errata'd later.
I don't know why they would, it's a perfectly fine rule.
You're seething at the very possibility, can you imagine how you'd would react to it actually happening?
Only time you'd ever do it is if it wins you the game (in which case people shouldn't be offering you trades), or if it's funny. Mostly the latter.';

First time I hear of it, but if it's co-op I probably won't like it. I see it reimplements Aeon's End which I know it to have good reviews though.';

'>>1281953
Played it and Aeons end
Aeons end is better, only thing about astro knights I liked more is that player turn cards have 2 player numbers and whenever they come up one of the two can decide to take their turn (if they haven't already on that round)
Everything else aeons does it better
But anyways they're just ok, nothing exceptional';

What are some good 2-4 player coop games out there? Maybe a brief list of the greatest hits?';

'>>1282677
I'm not the man to ask but it's generally accepted that Spirit Island is the best coop game out there.
There's also So Clover for a fun "co-op" experience, Flash Point Fire Rescue was popular in here for a while; There's Arkham and Eldritch Horror to, and Sky Team is one that was neat for a 2 player dice game.';

'>>1282677
Gloomhaven is probably the best, but impossible to play here';

'>>1282690
Didn't anons finish both Gloomhaven and Jaws of the Lion a few months back?';

'>>1282697
Did they? I dont think you can complete a campaign without friendlist/discord coordination, considering the how averse it is to those';

'>>1282757
Archive shows they finished JoTL and finished at least 1 campaign of GH and started a 2nd.

Your point being? Doesn't mean anybody can't revive it or Gloom lobbies, if there's interest people will come but they need a leader to organize and host for them.';

Personally, if a haven game happens again, I'd like it to be Frosthaven.';

'>>1282677
I thought Deep Rock Galactic was pretty alright. Does well to kinda capture the feel of the video game, and it's one of those co-op games where you don't necessarily feel too much pressure to overly-coordinate. After all, that's usually the thing that cripples co-op board games as being fun, as they need to do something to require you to not be one player split into different chairs, or either be just casual enough that you don't really care to do that without being mind-numbing';
