To play online you will need the following:
- Steam
- Tabletop Simulator on Steam
- Discord
- A Microphone
Download and install Steam and then open your friends window:
In the newly opened Friends window click the little man (OMG did you just ASSUME THEIR GENDER?!) ‘person’-with-a-plus icon:
On that page, paste the code 9378107 into the ‘Enter a Friend Code’ box.
Congratulations, you have now added the DM as a friend on Steam. Now I own your soul! BWAHAHAHAHAHaha ha…
Ok, now you need to buy Tabletop Simulator on Steam. It’s £15 but you will get literally hundreds of hours of tears, frustration and rage amazing D&D experience from just this small outlay!
Now you can play, you’ll need to be able to communicate so that you too can randomly shout “FUCK MY DICK!” at your party.
For that, you’ll need a microphone (gaming headset ideally, simple clip-on is ok) and Discord. Once you have found the Discord installer (Google is not your friend but they can find shit on the net) and installed it, you’ll need to add the DM as a friend on that as well: Tenz#1296
Using Tabletop Simulator
The DM will invite you to a game the first time. You’ll probably be late getting in because you’ll have stuffed up Discord so if all you can hear is an irate Christopher shouting “FUCK MY DICK”, or Jake repeatedly dropping the C-Bomb, DO NOT PANIC! This is perfectly normal.
You use WASD to scroll the camera around and hold the right mouse button to pan up/down. It’ll probably feel weird at first but don’t worry, after 30-40 hours it’ll just feel a bit strange.
Left-click and hold to drag stuff around on the table.
The ‘p’ button swaps between 3rd person, 1st person and top-down cameras. Use 3rd person for D&D. Let me repeat that USE 3RD PERSON FOR D&D!
It will put message on screen when you swap between modes. 1st person sucks utter monkey balls so if it feels like you are moving slower than an Arizona vote counter, you probably have the wrong view selected.
When you do get into the table you must follow the commandments of TTS:
- TOUCH EVERYTHING!
- FIDDLE WITH EVERYTHING!
- PUT YOUR HAND IN THE MOST INCONVENIENT PLACE POSSBILE!
- (AND LEAVE IT THERE)
So there you have it. Good luck player!
You’re going to need it.
