I know this is always an iffy subject, and I know FFG's stance on it and respect it, but I have friends across the US who own Descent and alas the only thing stopping us from playing together is physical proximity. Is there anything in the works to allow people to play this game online with stripped components (as per usual for this kind of thing)? Not from FFG themselves, of course, but using things like Fantasy Grounds or MapTool or Vassal…

Probably noting official, but I know people like to "Play By Forum" (PBF) over at BoardGameGeek.com

Do it yourself?

He could scan the stuff and make a Vassal module.

It's not that hard to do that stuff.

there was a game in development i believe but it got canned when agreements with FFG couldn't be met.

Yeah, that's one way to play is the PBF route. I'm attempting to sign up for a campaign session. I hope to get setup in a game soon. Check it out here .
