Saturday evening saw the return of my Space Opera RPG campaign as the players, and I reconvened on Zoom.

While during the heights of the pandemic many people took their role play games virtual with online tabletops given that Space Opera, a game system that has been out of print for nearly 40 years, has not dedicated online support system, we kept our game, once it restarted following vaccination, in person at my friend’s office. Sadly, my friend had moved away and the had to move to Zoom or simply stop. This weekend, after the prolonged chaos of moving, and missing a player who was unavailable, we resumed exactly where we had left off.

I had concerns about my ability to run a game in a virtual meeting space, but it turned out fine. Granted, the session ended earlier than I had wanted when I developed a sore throat but overall, it was a success.

In the words of Vision and The Scarlet Witch ‘This works.’
