Video games

Vidya gaems are games played with an electronic device, instead of paper, pens, dice, boards, anything traditional, and most of the time omitting your imagination too.

Many traditional or tabletop games (like WH40K and D&D) can now be played as using electronic devices to substitute for their tactile components like maps or minis, proving once again that technology continues to screw up everything that we all wished it remained as it is.

While vidya gaem-related gubbins are usually discussed on /v/, /tg/ has accepted that all games are traditional and so this media fits right in with the old board games. Some video games are tolerated and even enjoyed by /tg/. Many, however, are not. Video game threads in general, especially games with no corresponding /tg/ version, belong on /v/ instead.

If you are feeling kinda ronery, you could use the electronic heresy device as a virtual tabletop so you can play a tabletop game with your friends out of town.

This is a /v/ related article, which we tolerate because it's relevant and/or popular on /tg/... or we just can't be bothered to delete it.
