I am not one of them :-)ããI am lucky and I keep playing with my family. Actual board games.ããI have been playing some RPGs over VoiP, though. Lightweight storytelling sype games run very well online. I built a wiki forãmy group to hang their character sheets and notes online and we roll the dice with a bot.

I got this expension as a birthday gift but I have not come around to play it. There is thisãpandemic going on, you know, so meetings are not something my group is willing to partake in :-)ããMaybe the game wil play great, but the traitor mechanic seems severy broken out of the manual.
