There's a site that I think I linked to on the old forum, but was lost when we had to move over to invisionfree that lets you play a derivative of Settlers of Catan and some other games online. The site is asobrain. I signed up way back when but we just played our first game last night.

Xplorers is the name they've given their Settlers based game. The one we played was based on Seafarers of Catan, I'm not sure if you can play a standard Settlers setup or not. The most immediate thing I noticed was a difference in the resources. The Forests and sheep plains were obvious, and so was the ore mountains (in that they were silvery)... but to get clay, you'll want to build on what looks like the desert (there doesn't seem to be a desert tile), and the tiles that look like a red clay hill with a waterfall are a wildcard tile, kind of like the gold mine in Seafarers; it will allow you to collect any resource you want when its number is rolled.

All in all the game worked well when we tested it. I look forward to playing some games with more of you :)
