Hey all, Gortex, RogueTaylor and I are looking to start running a game of Gloomhaven on Sunday nights. It's a Tabletop dungeon crawler style game that we'll be running in Tabletop Simulator (TTS). Not really played anything like it before so can't really give a comparison but a good intro and review by Shut Up & Sit Down can be seen here:

Thankfully the people who set it up in TTS have it pretty much fully scripted so there is a lot less setup time, but there are quite a few rules to get your head around and a whole bunch of admin in the game that needs to be managed to keep track of things.
It's got quite a lot of content in it and you get random quests that when fulfilled, allow you to unlock more characters. There's also an evolving world in the game, so it's a lot like an RPG but with the role playing cut out. Supposedly you can keep a campaign going for months...

If you're interest and you'd be up for playing on Sundays from 8pm onwards then leave a reply here and/or give me a shout on Discord.
I might look to run another game on a week night but not before I've played through some scenarios and have a better understanding of the game and what's involved in playing through it.

We've got a spot open in the group. We usually play on Sunday nights but are pretty flexible. We're only on our 5th or so scenario and can get someone up to speed pretty quick. Leave a message here if you are interested or give me a shout on Discord if you want a chat about it.
