Would anyone be interested in a game played over Google hangouts? Once I get my print copy I will dig through it a little more getting comfortable gming. I thought it would be fun to organize a game through here. Maybe we could record some live plays so that people could get an idea of how the game actually plays. What do you all think?

Would depend when of course but I could be
Depends on day/time and time zone
Cool. So generally after 8pm eastern time on a Friday or Saturday. Does that generally work for people?
works for me. Definitely interested in it.
Yeah, that sounds awesome!
Aaah, that’d make it 1AM my time.
David Andrews bummer man. I have such a hard time getting to play with my friends in Europe. Unless I can get time in the middle of the afternoon my time or they are willing to stay up really late their time it doesn’t work.
Same here unfornately 🙁
I’d love to play, but I could only do it on Saturday evenings.
Just Google Hangouts? I’m a big fan of Roll20.net, which can run as an app WITHIN a Google Hangouts session as well. It allows me to break out maps and visuals in a game, and store scads of handouts. Here is an (unstarted) workup for a Traveller 5 game in lavish campaign detail. The Journal items are public, but may appear alphabetized instead of the neat folders of the game. Start with “Background”.

I would be available and interested. Either day is fine, but Saturday preferred.
So it sounds like there is certainly some interest. Can we start talking about a date to start on. Chalice In Chains, are you ready to start anytime soon, or was this just hypothetical?
Nathan Parrish great question. It was hypothetical at first but let’s say for now a Saturday evening in March. Maybe the 19th at 8pm eastern?
That should work for me.
Chalice In Chains Cool, sounds good
Alright. I will see what I can do closer to that date. I’ll keep you all posted.
Awesome, count me in for the 19th at 8pm eastern. Chalice In Chains, do you want to make an event?
Nathan Parrish I will a little closer to that date when I know for sure that I can do it.
BTW – My gaming group uses roll20 & hangouts for our campaigns. If you haven’t tried it yet, the combination of the two is great.
A Saturday date would be good. I am in another game in alternate Fridays.
Do not be afraid to incorporate Roll20 into the play somehow. I am enthusiastic about Roll20 and encourage people to get a free account and follow the Tutorial (which is an improvement even over their excellent videos). Although it’s an easy 2d6+asset roll, players can set macros for their characters’ specific kinds of dice-rolls, adding the correct Attributes by creating them in the Attributes column of a Roll20 character-sheet. If you can create a form-fillable sheet tailored to UW (requires some HTML/CSS scripting), that would be even better. People on Roll20 are encouraged to store form-fillable character-sheets on GitHub for use by other fans of the game.
