(TFT) On-line TFT Gaming and Cyberboard

["Craig N. Setti" <craigsetti@yahoo.com>]

David/PvK,
 
I did have some problems learning CB to be sure. One member of our playing group was, at least relatively speaking, quite experienced with CB and walked us through some difficult learning curve periods. There are some game specific manuals on CB and I would be willing to review, to the degree I am able, how to use CB for those who wanted to contact me on it. I have only used CB at this point as a player, not as a GM who sets the initial game file up, so I know there is still a good deal of learning the inner workings of CB for me as well. It is definitely worth the effort I can tell you. We may have room for one more player or so in our group for the upcoming second game, but I would need to check in with the group before offering any formal invitations. If you are interested though, let me know as it would be useful to see what degree of interest exists within the TFT community for active on-line gaming. Additional games could be set up, waiting lists established for
 fill-ins, a registry of TFT character sheets could be set up, there are many possibilities. Hope everyone is well, gotta run.

This is my problem.  I can't figure out enough to do anything, and am far too embarrassed to say anything first.

I think one of the largest obstacles to this kind of play is the fear of
the learning curve of the Cyberboard software - getting it set up and
learning how to use it. Is there a good step-by-step guide somewhere?
