Does anyone know any forums where you can find other trolls that wants to play via say zoom or teams. Most people where I live are totall newbies to t&t and/or rpgs; it would be fun to play with someone that's allready into the game, and it's mecanincs.  |

Would be good if there was a group and we could work out time differences.
At work we changed over to Microsoft Teams which seems to work pretty well. As long as the person setting up the session knows what they are doing it is fairly easy for others to join in.
It's nice to be able to show people something physical as well as just text (obviously in real life I look far more heroic than the character I play...)

For me, time differences are a big part of the problem. What is daytime or evening for others usually translates to the early hours of the morning or during working hours for me.
I played over Zoom and Teams with my local group during the lockdown periods for COVID, and still do now even though the rest of the group meets in person (bringing COVID home to my spouse would have potentially life-changing ramifications). As long as you have good bandwidth and a halfway-decent microphone / camera / speaker setup, it can work pretty well. I recommend turning on closed captions / subtitles if you want a laugh - trying to interpret gaming terms with a non-gaming vocabulary in the app gives some hilarious results!

Most people on the community have within one hour time difference, or at least I get that impression. I think that my avatar Looks way more impressive than I do, but what can you do?! |

I can understand that the tine difference causes troubles; most of trolls live in Europe, or at least I get that impression. But cool that you can play with your group via teams! |

If anyone decides to create a forum form online t&t-gaming; then let me know! Just put up a link, and I'll see you there. There is surely a way to work out the time differnces.
All the best!
