Hi Tim - my user name is jowhitehead#8460 so can you add me? I have got tabletop simulator and also have downloaded tabletopia and played some games. We are playing tonight (Wingspan for sure and potentially Villagers if we have too many people) - so if anyone wants to join let me know. I am at jo.whitehead@ashridge.org.uk I am happy if the club/Tim/someone else takes the lead on setting up a Monday night virtual event, but we will run ours for tonight and see how things go! Katie has created a google docs sheet with peoples details and it might be good to develop that e.g., have discord names... I look forward to continuing our gaming! Jo

Sorry but only have my phone which buys me out the running. Boat painting proceeding well. Should be back on the water Saturday morning. There's a discord app so you could use it to talk to us when we're online? Also, there is a tabletopia app that allows you to play the game on your phone. However, it is pretty tricky to use as the print is small and hard to zoom in on and the controls harder to manage than on a larger screen.

Anyone interested in exploring using tabletop simulator to keep playing some games?
I'm updating this post (as I am not entirely sure whether I should "quote" or "reply" to add to the thread). I played through Villagers with Lorna on Tabletopia and it worked pretty well. I have sent an email round to people I have an email for seeing who would like to play on Monday evening and Lorna and I thought we would be able to manage to host at least one game (depending on numbers). Is there a way to reach out to all the club and coordinate this? I don't believe everyone looks at this website, although perhaps we can get them too. And I don't have the emails of everyone. I am sure others will have a view on this - Tim, Chris, Others?!!! I am happy to help and will run a game on Monday - so do give me your email if you are interested and I will add you to the list. Even happier if we find the best way to move this forward as a club, as the last thing I want to do is to disrupt the organisation of this fine club!
In the meantime, can anyone suggest a simple guide to using Discord. I have looked at various Youtube videos but it doesn't seem very clear to me (I am not that tech savvy) but it does sound like a sensible thing to use. Lorna and I used Skype which seemed okay.
I am copying my email out to my list below (it is basically a sub-set of Monday night players who showed some interest in an extra evening every now and the):
Lorna and I played Villagers on Tabletopia and it worked pretty smoothly – so we think we have five options that would work and are free or relatively low cost. I think most will work for four players Wingspan Villagers Scythe Brass Birmingham Dominion (not on Tabletopia but available online for free) Please let me know your thoughts on the choice of games and whether you will be available Monday night (as we need to be a little more organised for an online game than a turn-up-and-play regular session). Please pass this on to others not on this list…I don’t have other contacts for club members! I hope we can keep on “gathering” on a Monday night or, indeed, other nights
