But once I got TTS, and just started talking to people, my friends list exploded, and I can't accept any more because I'm literally at the max allowed now. Before I got TTS, probably 2 years or so ago(I got it back when it was still in Early Access), i had very few friends on Steam.
Most people are willing to teach, and if they aren't they usually say so in the server title. You can also schedule events on community calendars if you're looking to drum up more dedicated players.Ī good way to make TTS friends would be to just take a look at the Server Browser, and look for a public server that's playing a game that you'd like to play or learn. If you're talking on going D&D campaigns, it's tough as you need to find people with the same schedule as you and no conflicts (just like real life).
Now, if the game is shorter, like Secret Hitler, most people can stay the full 30 minutes. It isn't terrible, but if you play 6 player Munchkin, by the time you finish you'll likely have played with 8-10 people. I have found opening my game to the public results in a rotating set of players. The other way is opening your game to the public on TTS. You'll likely get "Oh I don't know it, I'm willing to learn, I only have an hour and a half". They will typically look at the game, look at BoardGameGeek to see how long it should take, then offer their availability. If you find people through like TTS Club (community link in the sidebar on the right) they will likely agree to a full game.
All with an easy to use system integrated with Steam Workshop. In Tabletop Simulator, you can create your own original games, import custom assets, set up complete RPG dungeons, manipulate the physics, create hinges & joints, and of course flip the table when you are losing the game.
