Yeah, that looks like it. I'd heard it was in beta. Is it possible to turn the expansions on/off?

^Tabletop Simulator looks really interesting. I'm very much weary of Early Access games though. I honestly hate the idea of paying money to play an unfinished product.

With the expansions you can just remove them from the game and then make a save file which you can load every time you play. Those save files work in single and multi-player modes as well.

Fear not! This game is 100% functional and super freaking awesome. I have put in around 15-20 hours of gameplay into it and have played a lot of complex games. It takes a bit of getting used to the controls as it is a physics based table top simulator, but once you learn the little tricks, things move along VERY quickly.

Multi-player is super smooth. Crono, some friends mine and myself have spent a lot of time with it. Only gripe is that its voice support is laggy, so we just used Steam chat to fulfill our voice chat needs.

They just added a flick mechanic to the game, so games like Rampage are a definite possibility in the future!

It is stable, it is awesome and it is cheap. Gonna be playing Betrayal at the House on the hill tonight and I did a personal test run of it last night and it works great. The guy who made that mod did a great job using a grid system so the tiles snap together and lock into place. Only gripe with the mod is if you had a set of 6 people, space is limited.

it looks really intriguing for sure. I went through all the TCG mods to see if anyone made Card Fighters Clash yet - that would have been insta-buy haha. I don't know. I gotta keep my eye on this. There's a lot of mods already, so I'm gonna have to dig through and see what might interest me already.

Have they announced when they expect it to be officially released out of Early Access yet?

So supposedly it will be out of Early Access when it completes the stretch goals from Kickstarter, which include things like occulus rift support and the like. They have been updating almost weekly since april of 2014, which definitely shows their support. Like I stated, I fully support this game. With the time I've spent and the wide variety of games I have played, it is 100% worth the cost.

I only enthuse, because I want more and more people to play! I might actually put up videos of gameplay, as the ones I've seen online are just a bunch of idiots flailing and flipping their tables.

well, I'm certainly going to look into this further. What about the whole "no rules" thing? I'm not sure if I understand. Can you actually implement rules into the mods, or is there literally no rules enforced at all and you're just leaving it up to the players to play the game by the rules?

Also, can you set rules for individual players? I always cheat at Munchkin. I consider it a vital part of the game.
