Playing Catalyst on Roll20

Playing Catalyst on Roll20

COVID-19 has forced all of us to change how we play games. Although the intimacy of sitting around table has been replaced with the glare of a screen, there’s still joy in gaming over an internet connection. Besides video games, we have services like Board Game Arena to revisit our favorite classics and Zoom to share our purely analog sessions. My personal favorite is Roll20, which gives everyone a toolset to play a game, while still allowing the flexibility that is fundamental to a tabletop experience. I want to share some tips I have after GMing a few sessions of Catalyst through Roll20. If you’re looking for advice on how to handle Conspire and its hidden roles in Roll20, check out this playthrough we did with Eric Vulgaris.

Abandon Amazon

Abandon Amazon

Last month, we discontinued sales of our Cherry Picked Games titles on Amazon. We know many of you shop there, but it no longer makes sense for us to use the platform. Amazon was a money sink. There were also constant disruptions that required our attention. More importantly, leaving the service better aligns with our values: support small and independent businesses, price products to deliver fair value to both the consumer and developer, and maintain our voice while sharing our games. We’ll go into the history and reasons below the fold, but know that CPG still has their games available on our site and through distributors around the world.
