Title: Open invitation to game authors: Q&A in #rpgnet
Post by: Dan Davenport on August 01, 2012, 02:23:58 PM
I'd like to make an open invitation to all game authors to hold Q&As about their games in #rpgnet on IRC on the magicstar server. (If you haven't used IRC before, the easiest way to get there is probably via //www.magicstar.net, clicking on "CHAT NOW" and typing "/join #rpgnet".)
 
Please note that #rpgnet is no longer the official chatroom of RPGnet; however, it is a vibrant, active chatroom filled with people who also frequent these forums.
 
Just let me know if you're interested. :)

I would be interested. Is their a schedule? Also having a little trouble figuring out how to get onto to IRC using he method you outline (though I am on an ipdad so maybe that is the issue).

There's a rough schedule so far. I haven't really formalized anything yet. I just know that the next two Monday evenings are booked.

Where are you hitting a snag with the site?

You can also try //www.rpg.net/chat to get in... They never did take that down. :D

That seemed to take me to the right channel but looks like the ipad is the issue. When I get to my computer I will try to log in again.

I'm interested, and wouldn't mind doing a Q&A.  Don't know my exact availability yet to where I can block off an hour or so to answer questions.

I can do it, Dan! Happy to! I'm on magicstar twice a week anyway running or playing in games. I haven't bopped into #rpgnet for a while, though.

Incidentally, I should mention that anyone is free to drop by and promote his/her game at any time, or even just hang out. :)  The Q&As are just times when the "floor" is all yours, so to speak.
