Invites for
Google Wave have been spotted in the wild and quite a few of us have nabbed one. Some of us have invites to share.
In this thread we discuss the prospect of gaming on the Wave, and try to organize some games.
Post if you:- Are on the wave
- Want to run a game
- Want to play in a game

And it didn't have to be me!
I am both on Wave and would love to help test formats and so on. Because of how much anyone can edit anything, structure will probably be really important.
My advice: make as much as possible collapsible. Navigating big waves can be a real bitch.
Perhaps a link to the main Wave thread in Moe's is in order?
Also, yes I have wave...

that's it.
It seems though that it wouldn't be much more than IRC and a forum run at the same time. How much better would Wave be for this type of thing?
Did you know: I was planning on running just such a game! But here.
Summery if you were anywhere near me geographically I would be giving you a thousand hug dollars

Yes.
If MG showed up in some form here or on a Wave I would apply so fast.
Conga lines are such a hassle
It was until I just flat out told everyone that if they couldn't parse a simple one-line instruction they probably couldn't get much out of Wave anyway and ignored everyone that didn't get it.:winky:

Trying to see if there's any word of this on the official vBulletin forums...

Do you promise to run a game of F.A.T.A.L. if you get a Wave invite
If so, this man should get one immediately after me
I can't seem to get the dice roller to install.
Also, this article: http://gameplaywright.net/?p=1019 has proven very helpful to me. I tried out the "screenplay format" with one of my players today and it worked very well; you end up with a perfectly readable narrative as well that can just be copy & pasted for actual play reports and logs and such. I recommend sticking it in the OP since it is the only article on Wave gaming specifically I've seen. We also tried just using it like chat and it really didn't work; using a single wave for each session and a wave-branch for each "scene" and a separate wave for campaign details, logs and characters worked very well for our test game.
The only adjustment I'd make is that it sounds like players are supposed to edit the OB rather than make blips inside it at the indicated points. I think creating blips inside each player indication is best; it would make it more immediately clear who posted what, where.
Don't disappoint me
Let's get Infidel an account so he can port Critical!
=P
That game doesn't get enough love.
The capacity for slips while live-typing would be hilariously high.
"Move to Cylon Fleet no wait Colonial One dammit you didn't see that"
Yeah we tried that first, but it ends up getting really unwieldy. But I have a nice, small group, so it's not necessarily that useful to know who posted what as long as I know what the characters are doing.
