I have a three day weekend this week, so it should be a little easier for me to get in on some games.

I think I may be able to do one saturday evening, which would be sunday morning for you. Not positive about the exact time yet, but i'll probably post of the event when the day gets closer. Might even pull one friday, we'll see.

I have a paper that I'm submitting to a conference that I need to finish.  In order for it to be a potential candidate for publication, it has to be finished by the 14th (I also should probably enroll for school since it starts next week. I want to use my leftover grants after graduating this semester...).  I'll probably be busy for the next four or five days.

Hello folks, I'm likely to be online around 9pm GMT if anyone is up for a game. I'll start a hangout around that time and see who wanders by!

There's a game sarted right now!

 

edit: Well, Apostate looked like he was about to kick us into another dimension with eight relics coming out in the first two turns. Eternal Haka, Young Legacy, Fixer, and Tachyon were on the ropes with barely a scratch on the villain, when Haka's card drawing frenzy saved the day by bringing a rampage into hand. A few well timed Grease Guns, Ground Pounds, and Hypersonic Assaults kept the bogeyman at bay long enough for us to recharge through healing and to start whittling away at Apostates HP. We were in the Realm of Discord, which hadn't been altogether kind to us, when Time Flies came out and was immediately our best friend. A heavy take down with a 13 pt Haka of Battle + Taiaha combo was enough for Legacy to finish the job. Great game, and a totally unexpected turnaround from a dire situation!

I know I posted this on the Google+ community (this topic needs a name change!), but I think I won't be able to do many more Google+ hangouts with everyone. I'm back in college now, so that's gonna be taking up a lot of my time. Sorry guys! Maybe once I've got a break I can come back.


You're free to do whatever you want to.

I've just created a hangout and would be happy to play some time over the next few hours. I'm afraid I don't quite understand how the hangouts work, so am not if there's anything else I need to do in order to direct people to the hangout I made.

Sorry guys, I was al ittle busy today so i wasn't able to attend or even make any games today. Infact I have been busy the last few days (i'm not admiting to playing non-GTG games) but I would like to actually get a game going again tomorrow. I'll probably set it up for 2 p.m. central time (-6 GMT), but will be willing to put in multiple games and may be there for awhile as long as other people are there.

In my signature there is a link to the Google+ Community that you can join, then either you or someone else (usually me) can set an event that will list the time a game will be held at. That's about it.

Sadly I haven't been able to do any games this week, but I think I will be back to my gaming nature starting Monday. I can't say for sure as things may pop up to change it, but i'll know for sure when it hits Monday afternoon.

I think I found this in the thread several pages back, but I'm also computer-illiterate (or at least very slow):

I've got a friend who's been playing sentinels all by herself because she can't find partners and I wanted to set up google+ games with her.C Could someone pm me the spreadsheet... plus instructions on how to do the document share on google+. Help a girl out.

http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/85440/mezikes-sotm-online-gaming-aid is where the spreadsheet is located.

 

When you're running the google hangouts on the left side there is a list of icons. One of which looks like a computer monitor with and arrow on it. Clicking that will bring up another window in which will show every window you currently have open also fullscreen, all you have to do is click the one with the spreadsheet and it's ready to go!

 

Also if you haven't already you could send her to the Google+ Community so she can join some of the nice folks there to play games with whenever she is avaliable. It's one of the reason why I play on there so much as I would otherwise play more games alone.

Yeah, I have suggested it, after playing with y'all yesterday, but I wanted to give her a more "I know the person I'm playing with" option too.

Thanks for the info!

I just discovered this thread (and the game itself; only got it a bit ago), and this idea is awesome. Is this still going on and are there plans for any games coming up anytime soon?

A little update, my friend and I DID get a game in, though I think my version of excel is too old to run the spreadsheet properly. So after 30 minutes of crashing (on both sides, we're poor students and our laptops suffer for it) we adjusted our technique to a combo of Skype, the iphone app, and me treating the game like I was a color commentator on ESPN the Ocho. ("Oooooh, and after that mighty blow from Geb, the current hp totals for our heroes are Tachyon 20, Wraith, 17, Chrono-Ranger, 16, The Scholar, 17. Tachyon is sure loving that otherworldly resilience, don't you think Chuck?" Chuck being my imaginary co-host.)

Point is, the google+ hangout and excel spreadsheet combo works great for me... when someone else is running the excel spreadsheet. But, upshot is we did get to play.

Yeah, we'll still have plenty of games on the Google+ Hangouts. I don't think i'll be having a game today, but tomorrow i'll probably get a couple in.

That's how we played before Mezike had created the spreadsheet, with two people it isn't so bad, but when there become lots of people it becomes a little more complicated and lots of questions get asked. I believe we did type a bit to keep track of health and each person kept track of their own. At least you guys have figured out a way to play though so that's good.

Whoa, I'm offline for a few weeks and the online gaming community just balloons! Great to see so much going on. I really hope to be online for a game sometime over the Easter break, and will keep an eye on the google hangouts. I have been having a lot of fun with ST and cannot wait to see how everyone else puts the new heroes to work.

Celette I'll try to make a low-fi version of the spreadie, it should be possible to create something in .xls that has similar functionality if maybe not as slick. I also note that I got a bit carried away with all the new stuff in ST and listed every card instead of just the ones that stay in play @@

Mezike, I'd really appreciate it, though I'll come out and say that if I weren't such a cheapskate, your already designed system would be marvelous. I know so little about excel (the last "programming" I did was in 1999-holy cow, it really was) that I can't even begin to troubleshoot the problem.

But, you know, don't just do it because I'm cheap.

Two more games today at the same times, 2 pm CDT and 3 pm CDT. Though I wonder how many people will be busy with that International Tabletop day to make an appearance? I guess we'll find out.

 

 

Edit: Realized I was typing CST instead of CDT, curse you Daylight Savings time!
