Tabletop (a la Geek & Sundry/Wil Wheaton)

Just curious if anyone is a follower of Wil Wheaton's Tabletop adventures on Geek & Sundry, and if so, what games have you been able to port over to Roll20?  I have a group of online friends that are looking for some games outside the norm. I've ported The Resistance over to Roll20, but am curious if anyone's been able to port anything else over to Roll20 as well.  I've purchased a number of the Tabletop games, and have been trying to decide what will port over the easiest, and be most interesting to play, giving Roll20's strengths and weaknesses. Links I can check out will be welcomed, especially if you have something interesting!

I've played Fiasco on Roll20, although it works best with a pair of rollable tables for your dice (used as multi-sided tokens) rathre than rolling in chat.

I've heard of Settlers of Catan and Carcassone being ported, as well as more classic strategy style games (Gauss is always looking for peeps to play Axes and Allies!).  I've always thought it would be interesting to try Scotland Yard on Roll20.  I know several people have done Betrayal at House on the Hill (works best with some API magic).

If you took the time to take the pics and do the importing and setup, you could pretty much play any card game on Roll20 using the custom decks. In fact I'm surprised the companies that make games like "Cards Against Humanity" and "Fluxx" haven't started cooping with Roll20.

As a customer (I assume you purchase their goods) you can contact them and recommend they open discussions with the roll20 devs at <a href="mailto:Team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">Team@roll20.net</a>

Fiasco was one of my first thoughts, other than The Resistance. &nbsp;Catan and Carcassone as well, but it looks like a nightmare to port, just like Betrayal (I *really* want to play that on Roll20, but frak it would be a nightmare to port too). &nbsp;Castle Panic would probably be one of the easiest, and though my son likes that game, I'm not sure it would fit well with my tentative Roll20 group.

I didn't realize the rules against posting the join link when I originally posted this, but this image is my port for The Resistance :) &nbsp;I have it setup for 5-8 players, with all the necessary cards. &nbsp;One of my favorite tabletop games :). &nbsp;Still need some of my friends to commit to it though lol. &nbsp;Takes a lot of trust to do a game like this justice though.

It is just frowned on for you would have no control over who would join your game and they would have access to your game board. It is usually, highly, recommended that if you must post a link, make it to your looking for players page. This allows you to control who joins and such.

Most good companies listen to their customers and the more tell them they want roll20 merchandise then the more likely they will get in contact with roll20.

I don't mind people joining that particular game, because I can always dupe it for the real game if and when it should happen (and I hope soon). &nbsp;But I get your point, as well as the mod (who correctly) edited my post to protect me. &nbsp;+10. &nbsp;(Plus, I'm not sure how to post the looking for player's link ... still working the minutiae out for Roll20 :D) &nbsp;I kind of wanted to show off what was possible, even with very limited knowledge of the system, and I don't mind people playing around with the default game setup :) &nbsp;I created the Resistance game before I even completed the Mines of Phandelver port, so I was pretty proud of it. &nbsp;Just a case of bravado. lol

You mentioned you not sure how to post a looking for player link.

lol ...thanks :) This community is so wonderful :)

Zie got to you first but he answered the same as I would. If you have more questions please feel free to make a new thread in the&nbsp; specific use forum .

Darius S. said: If you took the time to take the pics and do the importing and setup, you could pretty much play any card game on Roll20 using the custom decks. Eh, not quite. A lot of card games include ways to manipulate the order of cards in a deck, which can't be done natively in Roll20. Roll20 also can't natively handle card games where the decks are built as you play, such as Dominion or the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game.

But it could .... &nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1240005/enhanced-card-deck-features" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1240005/enhanced-card-deck-features</a>&nbsp;

Out of curiosity, are there any copyright restrictions or similar to porting games into Roll20? When game systems and even graphics are copied and made available on a platform like this.&nbsp;

Scanning and using materials you have purchased in your own VTT and not distributing them has not been a problem thus far.
