[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8658310, member: 42040"] I'm finding myself in a situation where I have a group where it seems like there is always someone who has to miss the session. If it's not the guy with the new kid, it's the guy who travels for work all the time, or the guy who just got promoted to president of his company. It's important for us to get together and game when we can, but sometimes it's a month (or more) between times we can all get together. These are some of my oldest and closest friends, and cutting any of them out of the group in the hope of more play time is not an option. Since we live in different states, our only option is online. We've tried online board games (Board Game Arena), but it doesn't really do the trick. Most of the time we just get together on Zoom for a chat even if we're missing some people- but it would be nice to have an RPG we could play as an option. Can you suggest anything that matches some (or all) of these criteria... 1) A game that doesn't require specific party roles to function properly. [D&D and adjacent games require a lot of work if you're missing certain character classes.] 2) Something built for episodic, beer-and-pretzels play. [I'll lose them on deep mysteries.] 3) Works well on VTT (especially Foundry) [/QUOTE]
