I feel that it would be good to collect information/examples of board games that people have tried/played/run using Roll20. I see odd mentions here and there in the forums, but nothing tangible, and until this page nothing regarding board games in the wiki.
I know that there are other web-based board game portals out there, so I am not expecting duplication of those necessarily, nor infringement of copyrights - but that still leaves a lot of scope.
[on a personal note: for my particular group of gaming friends we enjoy rpgs, boardgames and wargames, so it makes sense to bring them together as much as possible to reduce the learning curve on online gaming interfaces.]
