AGOT-Skype Group

By sawtoothautumn, in General Discussion

Hello everyone,



I have just created a Skype group that is a platform for people to find games of AGOT over Skype. I have tried this type of thing before in the past with another LCG and it works quite well. All you'll need to play this over Skype, is to have a webcam and be able to angle it down to a certain play area. If you are able to do that then the rest is just like playing a game in person.



If you are interested, here is the link to join the group: https://join.skype.com/vof65CJY9gS1



Thank you and hopefully I'l see some of you on there!


There *is* a skype group already (and was for a long stretch of 1st edition), and it's rapidly dying out as people are migrating to discord . Skype does not handle large groups well, as its peer-to-peer system starts to lose messages if certain 'nodes' aren't online. The current group has 196 people in it still, but is basically dead.

Obviously skype has certain advantages in that it has built-in webcam support if you're playing angling your camera to your cards, but I think you're unlikely to get a lot of takers on this as the majority of online play happens using OCTGN, and Discord is a much stabler chat platform (and easier to jump into voice channels with other players).
