However, if you're just looking to play with a buddy, then yes one of you needs to run the server, the other needs to know the IP to login to.

Basically, if Bob Joe Henry Bob makes a game, can I join it without knowing his IP address?

You can use to coordinate the available hours using the forum section ”Opponents Wanted”. That will be straighter forward to find what you want, Opponents and Scenarios to play…
