What do people think? And how would dice rolling work? I would be happy with just trusting the players to be "honest" during the game, otherwise its no fun. I find characters that screw up rolls fun more fun!
Cheers!
VOIP game/chat idea Eg. over Skype
VOIP game/chat idea Eg. over Skype
I've been playing with the idea of playing a game over Skype or something similar. Ok, I can't practise what I preach as I don't have the time to sort anything out (exams in August!!!), but I thought it would be a good idea.

That's actually a good idea!! Haven't really heard much about Skype...but I browsed their site, and it looks really cool. What/how were you planning on doing it?ComicJam wrote:I've been playing with the idea of playing a game over Skype or something similar.

I will say it now, I haven't got time to GM currently, I could probably play for an hour or two in the evening (I'm on GMT here in London). Maybe in a few months I could GM, but not now.
Skype's very good as you can send links to people via a chat window (like MSN). This means that the GM can upload maps and NPC pictures to the web and link them for all the players to see!

Check it out: www.skype.comClay wrote:I've heard of Skype, but I'm afraid I'm not familar with it. Is it a RPG client of some sort?
It's a VoIP (Voice Over IP) that allows phone convo's over the internet...and it's free if it's a Skype-to-Skype call. I actually just downloaded it, and it seems pretty cool, but I don't know anyone else on, so I haven't been able to actually talk with it yet...but it does allow up to a 5-way convo...and it doubles as an AIM-type instant messanger client--no limit on people for that.
