Flamboyant ageing lady character gesturing towards the camera and saying - wargames are about shooty, bangy, stabby things. No point in discussing amongst yourselves.

Remember to always SAVE your work.

"and it was that moment that skynet decided that nothing could be saved and humanity had to be erased as the problem of saving could not be solved by any other means"

Just remember love is life
And hate is living death
Treat your life for what its worth
And live for every breath
Looking back I've lived and learned
But now I'm wondering
Here, I wait and only guess
What this next life will bring

Tabletop Simulator is simple.

Camera is your eyes. Mouse points actions are your hands and fingers.

Workshop is a massive store of "boxes" of minis, dioramas to play in, complete game sets, big tables, etc.

You may mix all and any elements from any of the workshop and create your own space.
