#5806. Love having new faces.
I do also want to open the floor for games, I feel like we're playing games that I want to play these days by default and it's turning people off. Here are some possibilities, but I will learn virtually any game, please add any you want to play. I know some of the crew might be getting sick of the stuff we play or turned off of regular rotation games:
Things I've played on TTS:
Root
Oath
Pax Pamir
Pax Renaissance
Empyreal: Spells and Steam
Merchant of Venus
I've played in person, has TTS, could teach:
Argent the Consortium
Xia (paid DLC game)
Clash of Cultures
Pure wishlist stuff that has TTS:
Flotilla
Sidereal Confluence (hard to manage)
Ah_Pook mentions:
Marvel Champions

Flotilla has been on my radar to try out since its brief spotlight around here, I'd be in for that. That might be my top pick out of your list.
I haven't played Clash of Cultures in years, but that's a favorite too (although I recall it running long). Pretty much anything there would be fine with me. Open to any other suggestions too.

Not Sure kicked my butt pretty badly! I would like to play this again sometime, iirc ScottF has been playing it.

I had some good draws on objectives in like T2/T3 that lined up with my "research-heavy" early game. I think board and advance points were pretty evenly split, and the score difference was almost entirely in objective points.
I'd like to put that into more regular rotation since we spent the time to re-learn it, and possibly even play the expansion material. For years it's done nothing but sit on my shelf and occasionally mock me about its aftermarket price.

One big thing that stuck out for me was that Tabletop Simulator is a tough lift since there's so much critical info on the tech sheet. TTS gets weak imo when you need to have a consistent high resolution view of the whole board state like in real life and I was feeling it this game on that account.

I was messing with Flotilla before we started and that was even worse. Lots of little stuff all over the place on that game. That feels like most of the time add in playing TTS, just zooming around to be able to read some tiny text or even see what that two-pixel pictogram is.

We both have the old edition and the expansion, so the mod was homely but pretty comfortable to us once we got rolling. Most of the changes I saw were to combat and we remembered how to do the old combat already so it wasn't a big deal. There was also at least one important initial change, making your first city happy to start, but that was used as a variant before already so nbd.
It's close enough I'd have to think hard about upgrading, tbh, though I can definitely see there's some room around the edges to improve things.

If the tech trees have changed, that will definitely need an update.
I think our game time was closer to 3h after we ran through the rules and setup (and I was in beard-scratcher mode a few times, I'll admit). I think it would tighten up dramatically with a couple of plays.
I thought the module worked pretty well given that it hasn't been touched in 2 years, and the state of module building has advanced a lot since then.
Considering how shelf-toady it's been, it's also a hard sell for me to upgrade as well. I seem to recall discussing this when the new edition came out. If it's 95% the same, that tests even my toad limits. The chances I'll get either edition out on the table are pretty low, so the differences are about zero minus zero.

Feel free to friend either one/both and we can play tabletop simulator.
I haven't heard of bullet, but I'd be willing to try.
A bump now that the holiday season is around the corner and some people might have some time off.
Here's my discord and steam name if anyone wants to game or plan something. I have a little server a number of these games have been played and organized on, friend me on discord and I'll invite you.
