Has anyone here played Fabletop?
It's a cool rules-light d6 online game, where you create your own (or use anothers') battlemat, create a simple character, and play. It's more role-play-based, and the dice are really more for making it work.
For those who have played it: Discuss! What are your favorite/least favorite aspects? When do you play? What genres?
For those who don't: Try it out!
So .... are you Demouser then?
Anyways, it looks neat. My problem with this sort of thing is that I wouldn't ever be able to collect a party of guys to sit down in their respective homes and play online like this.
Now ... if it were turn-based, that might be another thing entirely. For instance, it would be most excellent for my play-by-post game, right here on this forum.
But other then that, it looks like a simple and rather excellent little tool =)
Wait. Fabletop, as in "Fable Tabletop"?
And it's... online?
I guess someone missed the meaning of "tabletop", eh?
Virtual Tabletop. It's a thing.Quote:

It's not really that bad. Sure, it's not the same as in-person, but for a lot of people, it's a much-needed solution because they're nowhere near a gaming group.Quote:
