This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

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.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

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.
