Ooh, I hope the new tools make online gaming more practical for you! I
don't know that I'll ever overcome my dislike of conference-call
communication enough to do that kind of thing for fun. I have a much easier
time interacting with people in person than using voice remotely, alas, and
I don't think it's just that seeing faces helps. :/
I've done some very limited RP inside of Google Docs, which has the
advantages of:
You can see what the other people are typing as they type it
You can edit and format the text on the fly
You have a pretty clean record of the session from the get-go
You can use the document "chat" feature to talk to players OOCly if you
don't want OOC comments in the log.
Main disadvantage with multiple players is that the only clue about who's
typing at a given time is the color of their cursor. Still, works pretty
well.
I hope the twenty-minute poses are an exaggeration. <_< My benchmark was 4
minutes, and that's still a pretty slow pace. (I think you usually
responded in 1 or 2 minutes. No one could ever match you. :D )
