Hey, guys I'm interested to see if any of you are playing Star Trek CCG 1st edition on Tabletop. I'm already playing other card games there and would like to play this one too. If you play there too, let's play some games! Thanks

Hey Renior,

I cant/wont speak for everyone but Im thinking this will be met with lukewarm enthusiasm.

Considering there is a free option (Lackey) with the plugins for the cards already existing, Im not sure there is a reason to spend $25 on an alternative solution. Unless the game play experience is miles better than Lackey.

Have you looked into Lackey by any chance?

I tried tabletop simulator but struggled to build a deck with the one workshop thing I found for 1e. It seemed like it wasn't very searchable. How were you getting around that?

Tabletop Simulator has come up before, and there have been a few issues with it.

1. As Chad pointed out, not everyone has it. I think as of the last thread on it, me and one other person had Tabletop Simulator.

2. There does appear to be a 1E mod now I just downloaded but haven't tried yet. When I tried the 2E mod though, there was the major hassle that both players had to make their decks after connecting which would be a huge hassle as opposed to making one's deck beforehand. Plus, you'd apparently have to duplicate the cards you wanted on the fly so it'd be hard to keep your strategy secret.

3. Lackey will almost certainly be more up to date.

I thought I had one more, but it's escaping me right now.

All in all though, CCGs don't seem to be the best fit for TS.

Howdy! Chiming in to indicate that, while I wouldn't necessarily recommend picking up TTS just for ST:CCG 1e:

a) There is a very good Doomtown: Reloaded mod, and a solid L5R: LCG mod (both play well; DT has a deck import feature from dtdb!), so it may be a client that the fabled new players may already have and may already be familiar with;

b) TTS is routinely on sale for ~$10, which is a much more reasonable price (IMhO) for the functionality offered.

I am getting the hang of Lackey, and I'd be surprised if there was a big influx of players to TTS over Lackey if they already know/use Lackey, but there's also other platforms available for Doomtown (Octgn) and L5R (Jingoku), and TTS still sees use... .

Edit: Also, while I haven't tried the ST:CCG 1e mod, it should be possible to build decks in advance? For L5R, you just build your decks in single player mode, then save each deck as an object. Then, when it is time to play multiplayer, you just 'load object' your saved decks.

(The DT Mod is far superior b/c of the deck import function. But L5R deckbuilding isn't bad if you are just pulling together cards for a pre-made decklist.)

Oh yeah, well maybe I was totally unaware you could do that and should play with the program some more before opening my virtual noisehole!

LOL!

Oh yeah? Well maybe I should actually try the Star Trek CCG 1e or 2e mods to confirm that my hypothesis holds true for that mod, rather than relying on an assumption based on other games and making it sound like I'm some sort of TTS bigshot guru!

BOTH OF YOU .. GO TO YOUR ROOM.

And play STCCG 1E.

You'll do it and you'll like it

[Captain Parrish]

I have TTS wasnt aware of a stccg mod 1e or 2e

[Captain Parrish]

downloaded the mod gonna play around with it tonight

[renoir2005]

Cool, let me know if you want to play. There is also a custom deck builder within it too so you can load cards from this site to it.

Renoir add me on steam bruce_on_da_Loose. I know im so original right?

[renoir2005]

I sent it today, thx!

Tabletop simulator works really well for Magic: The Gathering. I dont know if their are any good mods for Star Trek but it's definitely doable. Deck building is even done super easily on a an associated web page and you just import it over. I would love to play the game on there if anyone is interested. It might even get more people into the game since it is such a popular app.

Hossdrone has you covered. (can't see part 1 right now for some reason...)
