This is true.
Take care,

Thanks Forrest but I am in the midst of a pressing project and not sure I
will have time or the knowledge to set things up, but I plan on delving
deeper onto this. That said, nothing can ever truly replace getting all
together for some live in person gaming.

Just note, though, you could join us on Discord, then Eddie could screen
share the game with you over Discord and you could see what's going on and
talk to us.

Forrest, this all sounds great. I have been curious about steam and
vassal for some time but as you mentioned it is difficult to use with a
touch pad which is what I have currently. Will look into getting a mouse
for my laptop.

Hi guys,
Eddie will be running an online tutorial of Discord and Tabletop
Simulator using a simple horse and musket game tomorrow night at 6:30. To
participate, send your Discord name and your Steam names to:
eddiemhharris@xxxxxxxxx
and he will send you at invite to the session just before it starts
tomorrow.
We'll help you get comfortable with moving pieces, rolling dice,
measuring movement, and finding your way around in the tabletop simulator
environment. All you need is a mouse and a couple of keys on the keyboard,
and there is no speed or reflex stuff involved because you're really just
playing a boardgame. It's extremely intuitive.
You will need;
Discord download: https://discordapp.com/
Steam, and buy Tabletop Simulator inside of Steam.
Computer (not a phone) with mouse (trackpad will be very clunky)
https://store.steampowered.com/
Headphones or ear buds (so your computer speakers don't cause an echo
for everyone else).
Once we master a simple game, we'll load up the Fire and Fury
Regimental game that's in the community workshop area of tabletop
simulator.
The Discord server is called Normal Online Wargaming, and it's a place
we can meet to make plans and communicate for all kinds of online gaming.
You'd be amazed the wargaming stuff that the community has put together on
TTS.
Forrest
