Hello,
Me and a buddy have gotten into playing Vs. and have played mostly in person, but also have started playing some games on Google+ Hangout Group Video Chat service. It is not perfect, but does the job rather well. I have also setup a Google Drive Doc for scorekeeping for the games, and keeping records. I just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in trying to play some Vs. games in this manner with myself and/or my buddy. We both live in the Fort Worth, Tx area so if there is anyone nearby that wants to play in person, I could also host. If you are interested let me know and I am pretty easy to find on Google+

There's a thread with some DFW players though I'm not sure how many of them are currently active on the boards you can send them some PMs/emails and see if anyone gets back to you. What is your set up on the video? Does the camera look at the cards? What do you do if you need to check what a certain card does?

The camera is typically on the board of both players (resource, front, support rows, KO pile and Deck) We can discuss before the game starts about each other's deck and any questionable cards, but usually looking at the card up close with the camera, or providing a link to a copy of the card for reference usually does the trick. I guess there is a potential for cheating because you are not looking at your opponents hands, but we are playing amongst friends for fun so cheating is not really gonna happen. If you did want to join us, I could also share with you our online scoring spreadsheet and allow you to score your own endurance lose.
I enjoy playing with my buddy on there, but I would like to switch it up and play against new players and new decks. Let me know if you want to join, because I think we will be playing an online game tonight. Even if you want to watch us play, or one of us could watch as the other plays you...or a 3 player game eventually.

This sounds pretty interesting.

At the moment I have no decks (I can easily procure some from the stash at my friend's house though) and the only cam is built into my comp which doesn't lend itself to the type of video you're talking about (a much more expensive problem to fix). I might be into watching a game here and there though to see what the experience is like. If you PM me your info I can get in touch with you, but I'm def not free tonight.

FYI, for the camera I use an old X-Box Live webcam and just plug it into my USB, and it works great.
