Tabletop Simulator 101
If you haven't used Tabletop Simulator before, it can be intimidating. I'm by no means an expert, but having put in more than 100 hours, I can hopefully teach you some of the basics to get you past that first hurdle. Please come with TTS already installed.

Tickets
This event is past the point where ticket sales are permitted.Like a lot of people, I bought Tabletop Simulator, tried it out, and then left it on the shelf because I couldn't get comfortable with it. Covid19 prompted me to dust it off and try again, and this time I got past the initial learning curve to where it is now my favorite platform to play board games virtually.
What we'll cover:
- Creating a room
- Joining a room
- Finding games to host
- Navigating around the table and interacting with things
- What to look for in a good mod
- Managing player turns
I'll leave lots of time for Q&A too, but bear in mind that this is intended as an introductory session, so I won't get into scripting, or troubleshooting mod creation.
Please have Tabletop Simulator installed before the session. I highly recommend a mouse with a scroll wheel
If demand warrants it, I'll schedule more sessions. If you have a specific game you're interested in seeing in action, let me know ahead of time and I'll do my best to prepare for it.
