I've pretty obvioiusly not done RPG via chat before, and I have some
questions/thoughts:
1. We'd need the ability to share files, such as graphics, like you'd have
in an online collaboration site
2. Ideally, real-time graphics sharing, like the counters moving on a
Brilliant Lances map or a ground map, but that probably outstrips freebies
from Yahoo
3. Is there the ability to record the session's text for download and
saving after the sessions
4. I would expect to use the "invitation only" thing to keep it
manageable. However, I think it would be great to allow observers in
addition to players
5. In text-based, distance RPGing, what are the accepted conventions for
die-rolling so everyone is comfortable that it is all clean?
It could take me a while to get ready for this, but there is something I
would really like to do with/for this group.
