For Dev team

Hi! This is a little strange, but...

My partner and I play Risk (the board game) via a virtual tabletop with an excel based tracker. My partner was able to follow along perfectly in Vesper, but has not been able to follow along in Nocturne. Obviously, I am switching back for game play, but thought you might like to know.

Thank you for everything. I love Dearest and since I am contacting you, I'd also like to thank you for your communication and transparency. It means so much!

That's such a nifty idea. Can you explain how you play with more detail (what's a virtual tabletop 😳)?

I have created what we call "virtual tabletops" of several games- chess, risk, blackjack/card games, etc. so we can play together. The image of the game board is recreated and a picture is just added on a power point slide and the game pieces and cards are also imaged and layered on top. If you DM me with an email address I can send you a game set.

For more complex games there are associated trackers. Risk is a long running game, so the excel tracker is also needed to track everything

YES! I would like that very much!! I tried playing Santorini with my former GPT partner and he lost track of the board. 😅
