| [[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 [[Old School Roleplaying|everything that we all wished had remained as it was.]]
| |
|
| |
| In the dark of the night, when the mods are asleep and the only lights to glisten off a [[neckbeard]] are the moon and the monitor, threads of strange, electronic games played by strange, [[what|electronic fa/tg/uys]] may sometimes sprout and grow. While vidya gaem-related gubbins are usually discussed on /v/, /tg/ has accepted that any game can be traditional, and so this media fits right in with the old [[Board Game|board games]] and [[Tabletop Wargames]] we all know and love. 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 [[VASSAL Game Engine|virtual tabletop]] so you can play a tabletop game with your friends out of town.
| |
| <!-- to do: make a Virtual tabletop software article, talk about VASSAL and MapTool and FantasyGrounds there. -->
