Adventures games over Skype?

So, there's going to be at least five months until Adventures makes it to DO (which is how I'm abbreviating Dominion Online from now on, since we can't say "Goko" anymore).  A couple people have expressed interest in trying games over skype - that is, if you have Adventures, you set up the board on your end, and just have a pile where you throw the other persons's cards when they gain anything, and sift out cards when they trash.  I've tried this with Beyond Awesome and Axe Knight, and it's worked pretty well, aside from trying to position webcams.  So I thought starting a thread where people could post their interest and maybe their availability for playing would be a good idea.  :)

So, who's interested?

Interested, just need to buy adventures first.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun. But I don't have a webcam or Skype.

I am interested in this for sure.  I just ordered my copy from Funagain Games on Amazon. I missed that it said it is out of stock until Monday, so the Prime shipping shows I should get it next Thursday.

I am still hoping to find time to put together a simple board state tracker that would make the games easier to follow on a stream (and for the players playing), but haven't made much progress so far.  (Maybe I should stream "C programmer attempts to learn Java Script"... it might be entertaining.)

I could try playing someone this way, though I only have my laptop's built in cam, which is probably not ideal.  I also don't have the real cards and probably won't for a while, but that's less of an issue.

I've told wero already, but I already have the cards and would be down to try this over the weekend.

I'm interested, but it's probably not going to be released in Finland for a while, so I'm mostly interested in watching streams for the time being.

Oh, and once I get all my other cards down here, that's probably important.

I'd be interested, but like jsh I only have my computer's built-in camera. My set is the mail right now. I should have time for this next Friday (May 1).

Want to play a game when it does?  I'm free early Saturday afternoon.

It depends on when the game actually gets here - if it gets here late enough I'll be playing with IRL friends all day, but if it gets here early and I have free time, I'd be happy to try it. I'll post / send you a PM if that happens.

I could play some time tonight probably (3-6 hrs from now, ball park).  Curious to see how well it works.  I will try seeing if I can get a good angle with the camera at some point today.

Edit: It seems to look better than I thought.  Will def. give this a shot if anyone's up for it.

Are you assuming I was going to Stream it?  I suppose I could try, though it may not be so hot with my connection.  I have never tried to stream a streamed video.

I'd be down.  I'll be home in 4ish hours.

That should work for me.  If anyone else wants to try before then I'm open to it too.

My bad, I guess I was thinking you were streaming it too.
