What Board Games Have You Imported?

Roll20 rocks for sure!!  I have been using Roll20 to GM several campaigns...it is excellent for that.  But my gaming group sometimes loves to play some boardgames...or at least we did when we all lived within a few miles.  Anyhow... just curious if anyone has imported a few games to use on roll20?  Are you willing to share them???  Thanks! 

I created and run 2 boardgames atm: Formula De (formula one race car game), Battletech and Talisman 2nd Edition. I also have a Fiasco game setup as well. I am planning on adding Space Hulk and updating Talisman to 3rd edition. I am looking for do some others. SFB, Advanced Squad Leader, a little gem called Gladiator and some others.

I have imported Axis and Allies Europe and SFB. Looking to import Battletech eventually. :)  Have also imported Munchkin (a card game).  - Gauss

Arkham Horror Pillars of the Earth Leviathans Looking at Betrayal at House on the Hill

I have considered adding ie Risk, but I always conclude that it's ton of work. Yet I think all options mentioned so far are more complex. How long time do you use to get them into Roll20?  I know Arkham Horror was MANY hours.. 

Holy crap Keith, how did you import Arkham Horror?  Aren't there 100s of cards you'd have to put in? Curious because I'd love to play it on here.

Kurses, try Munchkin sometime...also hundreds of cards. :) First set of cards: 176 iirc. Then there are about 7 other sets I own from 'plain Munchkin'. Now to get the other varieties. - Gauss

Wow I get no kudo's for Talisman. There are 104 Adventure cards alone, not including spell cards, equipment cards, character cards, tokens etc, geesh no love for me =(

I was thinking of putting FFG's Doom boardgame on here but haven't done so yet. RPGman I applaud you're Talisman work. I used to love that game back in the day.

How do you even put cards into a game and have it so they are drawn randomly?  Do you use the card stack tool somehow?

Kurses, Roll20 has a shuffle button. Shuffle the deck and then draw from the top normally. :) - Gauss

I've imported: Power Grid  Hey That's my Fish Day of Zeds Stone Age Space Hulk

Does Car Wars count?

Just finishing up Betrayal at House on the Hill now. Having a bit of trouble figuring out how to handle the players stats (speed, might, etc) vs the position of the slider on the penta-card - since the position can repeat the same stat even 3 times.

I've also done Arkham Horror. Took forever. Worth it though.

I've also got a good chunk of Cosmic Encounter done. It's playable, but only about 20 of the base set aliens are scanned in so far.

Too bad we couldn't convince fantasy flight to make a pay for module that recreates arkham horror.  I'd easily pay full price of the game over again for that.  I don't think I have the patience to type in every card from it!

Considered pandemic and forbidden island as both would be quite simple to do an also don't have a metric tonne of cards :P

WHQ and Castle Ravenloft both work in progress...both require some wonky manipulation of decks (augmenting the draw of special tiles w/ 1d4 rolls n stuff) but I think it works well enough.  It'd be nice if the decks had more functionality to combine and separate decks, draw specific cards, etc. so you could build special decks per adventure.  For example, CR asks you to shuffle a stack of 4 tiles that includes a special tile  below the 10th tile of your dungeon deck.  The best solution we've come up w/ is playing for 10 tiles from the main tile deck and then rolling 1d4 thereafter, still drawing from the main tile deck, if we roll a 1 on any of those draws, we place the special tile instead of a regular tile.  I don't kno how you'd build something like pandemic that requires draws from the bottom of the deck as well as partial reshuffles of decks. 

Kristin C. said: You presently can't share Roll20 campaigns at this time. So.. Is this being worked on?  Since BoardGames would be awesome this way!   If not, is there some easy way to share the digital scans and stuff like that for easier work for the next person doing it? Or is it basicly up to each and everyone of us to start from scratch everytime? I for one is thinking of setting up Descent 2nd edition.... but am looking at Vassal engine instead... since that lets you share modules. And the work is done once, and then you can make it better and better instead of doing the basic work over and over.. /SorroW

Ahh. I see.  Thanks for the quick answer!

Kristin C. said: Mikael F. said: Kristin C. said: You presently can't share Roll20 campaigns at this time. So.. Is this being worked on?  I highly doubt a complete campaign share will ever be allowed, simply because this fosters piracy. And sharing the digital scans of a board game is directly content piracy. So, no. Well aside from the pita to put together card decks, sharing the organizational structure and text content is more then enough.  The main problem with this right now is that there's no default blank token image, so if you were to share everything minus images, any tokens with gm information on them on the board, not tied to a journal entry (which usually for me has a copy of the information on the token in the gm info) would cause alot of problems for people who make use of many untagged tokens on the board by just moving them out of view. Also id think roll20 wouldn't be responsible for the content its users use/shared amongst each other, unless someone was trying to say sell digital scans of stuff unlicensed via the roll20 marketplace.

I'm really wanting to do both Axis and Allies - the combined Europe and Pacific game, as well as Twilight Imperium.  I haven't yet due to the scale of both, I'm a little frightened  to do it, but I have this feeling that once I do I'll actually start finishing them when I play them - no 10 hour unfinished game that I have to clear off the table.  I'm also considering the Game of Thrones board game.  Why can't I choose something simple to do...?

@Bart - I'd love to see Game of Thrones adapted.   I'm giving serious thought to adapting Battlestar Galactica - just trying to gauge interest before I make the time commitment...

I have just completed the daunting task of uploading RELIC!!! Sweet game and have had a blast playing it already.  It was a bugger uploading the board sections... the cards took a life time.   I want to upload the Space Hulk Card Game soon.  

I forgot to mention I have also uploaded Zombicide as well.  Awesome game!!!!  Plus it is easy to add new cards for the search deck on roll20.
