How about as a social experience?
Here we come to a few ways TTS differs from a real table experience. The lack of visible social cues can, if you’re not already a close-knit group, lead to people talking over one another, as you have no way of telling when someone’s about to speak.
You’ll also need a separate piece of software to talk to your fellow gamers. I highly recommend Discord as it’s straightforward to use and is available on PC, Android & iOS. If you already use Skype, Messenger or something else then you can also continue to use that.
I’ve used TTS to socialise. I’ve met new friends and used it to connect with old ones. Whilst TTS will never replace a “real” tabletop experience, it’s something different, not less. I think I’ll end up continuing to use it after all this is over as a way to play games from my own home with players I can’t normally get together with. It’s honestly better than I ever expected.
Who would you recommend it for?
Really, almost anyone who is comfortable using a computer or is happy to learn. it’s quick and easy to learn if you have any level of competency using a PC and a breeze for anyone who would call themselves a “gamer”. I found my way around it in a few minutes and the community is always willing to offer any help or assistance you might need.
